While he was in Nebraska, Captain John stopped by the University of Nebraska, Lincoln and visited the International Quilt Study Center & Museum. While there he came upon the exhibit, Jean Ray Laury: Getting It All Together. The Museum was kind enough to let him take and share photos of the exhibit.

Here is information from the Museum about the exhibit. The Museum website has quite a bit of additional information and more quilt photos.

- Jean Ray Laury had it all together, so it seems,
- and she taught other women how to live a balanced life in the roles they chose, making room for everyday creativity. This was Laury’s feminist viewpoint, one that appealed to women for whom a radical change in lifestyle was neither practical nor desirable.
- The works of Laury’s hands and mind
- reveal a woman who—as an artist, quiltmaker, feminist, mother, wife, homemaker, teacher, mentor, and author—combined the many ingredients of her life, along with a dash of humor, into an integrated whole. She “had it all together.”
- Jean Ray Laury: Getting It All Together features Laury’s quilts,
- artworks in other media, and her personal and professional records selected from the IQSC Collections and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s Archives and Special Collections. Laury donated her art and papers in 2010, a few months before her death on March 2, 2011. Unless otherwise noted, all items are drawn from this generous gift.
