Lecture: Behind the Scenes at the World's Greatest Quilt Museum

Let Meg Cox, who serves on the board of advisors for the International Quilt Museum in Lincoln, Nebraska, open the vaults and reveal the treasures of this astounding place. Her PowerPoint lecture will show you masterpiece quilts, introduce you to curators and break down the steps in mounting an exhibition. IQM boasts a broad and unique collection of American quilts, including the red and white quilts that dazzled the quilt world when hung in Manhattan’s Park Avenue Armory in 2011. But it’s dazzling collection of more than 7,000 quilts also includes examples from more than 60 countries. Meg created this presentation to benefit the museum she loves, so she donates every penny to the IQM. To make it even more fun, the museum will donate a door prize from its museum store to your guild.
