For six days, beginning March 25, 2011, the American Folk Art Museum in NYC will dramatically transform the Park Avenue Armory’s historic, 55,000-square-foot Wade Thompson Drill Hall with the installation of more than 650 red and white American quilts, all of which are on loan from one private New York City collection. This will be the largest exhibition of quilts ever held in the city. As an extra-ordinary gift to the public, entry to this unprecedented event is FREE.

With quilts displayed in seven pavillions, this red-and-white spectacle is sure to inspire admiration and awe.  Along with the beautiful quilts, the event will include a special program on Saturday, March 26, moderated by Meg Cox and entitled "A Conversation with Paula Nadelstern and Alex Anderson." Paula (Episode 508) and Alex (Episode 408) will discuss where quilting has been and where it is going.  A reception and book signing will follow the discussion. 

If you are anywhere near the New York metro area, you won't want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime event! TQS will bring you more information on this outstanding exhibit soon.
