The National Quilt Museum needs your help with their fundraising campaign for 2015. All you have to do is donate a quilt for fundrasing purposes. Here's the pertinent information from the Museum:
It's time for the Museum's 2015 Quilts for Quilting Campaign to begin! The Quilts for Quilting Campaign is a fundraising effort driven by passionate quilters like you. The program is simple and everyone who quilts can participate. To get involved simply donate a quilt to the Museum for fundraising purposes. The quilt can be a new creation or an antique and it can be any size. The Museum is a 501c3 nonprofit organization, so all donations are tax deductible.
The quilt you donate will be auctioned or sold at one of our fundraisers. The majority of them go into live and silent auctions in April. The proceeds from the sale of these quilts directly benefit the Museum's general fund and are put toward programs that promote our mission to advance the art of today's quilters by bringing it to new and expanding audiences worldwide.
Over the last 6 years, our Quilts for Quilting program has been one of the Museum's largest annual fundraising efforts. Last fiscal year alone we raised over $35,000 by auctioning and selling quilts donated by quilters through this campaign. These proceeds along with other donations drove us to expand our programs and promotional efforts, leading to over 10% attendance growth in fiscal 2013/2014. Many of our educational programs have directly benefitted from this program as well including the School Block Challenge and several other school programs.
In addition to helping the Museum, each campaign donator will receive a free gift.
How to donate your miniature or full-size quilt to the "Quilts for Quilting" campaign:
1. Send quilts to:
The National Quilt Museum
215 Jefferson Street
Paducah, KY 42001
Attention: Quilts for Quilting.
2. Please include your name, address, and contact information so that we may send you a receipt and a free gift.
3. You can assign a value to the quilt; however, as most quilts will be auctioned we cannot guarantee that the assigned value will be met.
There is no limit to the number of quilts you can donate for this campaign. We welcome multiple donations. If possible, please donate by April 1, 2015.
Thank you so much for your donation. The generosity of quilters like you make it possible for the Museum to continue to expand its work. If you have any questions about this program please contact either Lori Robbins or Amanda Ball at 270-442-8856.
You never know who will end up with the quilt you donate. Read this article about how one of the quilts donated last year is now hanging in the mansion of the Mayor of Dublin, Ireland.
The National Quilt Museum is a 501c3 nonprofit organization funded by the quilting community. The Museum reserves the right to refuse a donation when necessary

There are a few days left to see the latest exhibit at the DAR Museum, Creating the Ideal Home 1800-1939: Comfort and Convenience in America.
"This exhibition illustrates how almost 150 years of inventions have basically made our lives easier, and our homes more comfy and convenient. It demonstrates that the way we work and play today has benefited from scientific experimentation and discovery from colonial times onward."
The exhibit runs through August 30, 2014. If you'd like to see a bit of the exhibit online, you can click here to take a technological ride through the ages.
The museum is located at 1776 D St NW, Washingon, D.C.
