Have you got your quilt ready?  It's time for the National Quilt Museum's 2016 Quilts for Quilting Campaign. 

This campaign is one of the Museum's most important fundraisers.  They had over 500 participants last year, and are hoping you'll donate a quilt to help the Museum achieve its fundraising goals in 2016.

Here's the important info from the Museum:

How it works?  The program is simple and everyone can participate.  To get involved simply donate a full size quilt or miniature quilt to the Museum for fundraising purposes.  The quilt can be a new creation or an antique and it can be any size.  Most donated quilts will be a part of one of our three annual auctions.  In a few cases they are held to be used in later events.  The Museum is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization so all donations are tax deductible as allowed by law.

Over the last 6 years, the "Quilts for Quilting" campaign has led to critical funding for the Museum.  The dollars raised in this program have helped us expand several programs and expand our promotional efforts.  These proceeds along with other donations have ultimately led to thousands more people experiencing the work of today's quilting community through educational programs, in-facility exhibits, travelling exhibits, and other programs.

In addition to helping the Museum, each campaign donator will receive a free gift.

How to donate your quilt to the "Quilts for Quilting" campaign:
Send quilts to:
            National Quilt Museum
            215 Jefferson Street
            Paducah, KY 42001
Please write "Attn: Quilts for Quilting" on the box.

Please include your name, address, and contact information so that we may send you a receipt and a gift.
There is no limit to the number of quilts you may donate to the campaign.  We welcome multiple donations.  If possible, please donate by April 1, 2016.

Thank you so much for your donation.  The Museum relies heavily on the generosity of the quilting community for funding and we need everyone passionate about quilting involved.  2016 is the Museum's 25th Anniversary and we would love to ring in this wonderful milestone with the most successful auction ever!
