Beginning December 9, 2011, a new exhibit will open at the National Quilt Museum in Paducah, Kentucky. Quilt Journeys: Three Quilters follows the artistic journey of Doreen Speckmann, Diane Guadynski, and Dorris McManis.
Doreen was one of the first artists to gain celebrity status in the quilt world and was featured on Simply Quilts with Alex. Diane is one of the most respected and admired machine quilters in the world. Dorris is most well known for having created one 12" quilt every week for an entire year.
"Like most journeys, it isn't the destination that is the story, it is the process of getting there and how they find their 'voice' during their journey that's interesting," said Judy Schwender, Curator/Registrar for The National Quilt Museum.
This exhibit runs through March 13, 2012. The National Quilt Museum exhibit was funded with a grant from the Murray State University Office of Regional Outreach.

Celebrate your love of quilting with The Keeping Quilt, a delightful story of a handmade quilt that becomes a symbol of the enduring love and faith of four generations of an immigrant Jewish family. This beautifully illustrated story is sure to become a favorite. In fact, it might even spark a new tradition for your family.
Why not make a special quilted tablecloth that each family member can sign at family gatherings? You can keep the signatures just as they are, or embroider them for dimension and durability.
Do you have a special quilt idea? Please tell us about it.
