The National Quilt Museum
One of the world's best quilt displays, according to USA Today (11-12-2014), is in Paducah, Kentucky. Bill and Meredith Schroeder established the National Quilt Museum, and it opened to the public on April 25, 1991. The museum has a rotating exhibit with a permanent collection of over 300 amazing quilts. It has around 40,000 visitors each year.
I come from a long line of quilters. My great aunt made quilts and bedspreads and sold them to New York galleries. I've also quilted for years and have even appraised quilts. Yet, I found this quilt museum to be very impressive.
The National Quilt Museum is located at 215 Jefferson Street in Paducah, Kentucky. It's open from 10:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. Their phone number is 270-422-8856. If you're ever in the area, be sure to check it out. It's definitely "something to see."
