America turned 250 years old yesterday, and maybe you celebrated by having a barbecue, shooting off some fireworks, and spending some time with friends and family. The International Quilt Museum in Lincoln, Nebraska chose to celebrate on a much grander scale with their Material Nation: 250 Years of American Quilts exhibit, which features more than 250 quilts that "trace American material culture and thread together more than two centuries of the creativity, innovation and community that made quilting a quintessentially American artform." Take a tour of this latest exhibit from the International Quilt Museum in their brand new video.
Presented by the International Quilt Museum: "Join Carolyn Ducey for a peek into "Material Nation: 250 Years of American Quiltmaking" — a museum-wide exhibition opening at the IQM throughout the month of June. Ducey will also be joined by artist and quiltmaker Celeste Butler for a discussion of her work included in the exhibition."
