"From The National Quilt Museum in Paducah, Kentucky, Laura Hendrickson (Registrar/Collections Manager) and Becky Glasby (Director of Education) will be presenting at the monthly meeting of the West Sound Quilt Guild in Port Orchard, Washington on April 3rd, 2019.
The National Quilt Museum’s mission is to advance the art of quilting by bringing it to new and expanding audiences worldwide. During the presentation, they will share how the museum carries out this mission and supports the quilting community through exhibits, education, advocacy, and preservation.
They will be bringing 12 quilts from the museum’s contemporary collection, which includes over 630 works of art, and sharing the stories of the makers’ inspirations and techniques, to highlight how the museum honors today’s quilters."
Bring friends and interested ones, donations at the door of $5.00.
Come early to visit with friends or to peruse our library.
Whether you are new to quilting or an experienced quilter you will find that belonging to a Mini Group is a great way to make new friends and have fun while learning new quilting skills. Each group plans its own meeting time and place as well as activities including demonstrations, workshops, retreats, trips or just work on their own projects. There are also groups based on special interests. If you would like more information about joining a mini group come to the Mini Group table at the WSQ meeting and we will help you find a group at a time and location that is convenient for you.
Throughout the year workshops are offered to help quilters learn new skills. There is also a lending library of excellent quilt books available,
