Celebrated documentary filmmaker Ken Burns is a lover of quilts, and a few years ago he decided to display his collection for the first time publicly at the International Quilt Study Center and Museum in Nebraska.

From the Victoria and Albert Museum: "Discover a dazzling 1960s evening dress embellished with precious metal threads, beads, sequins, diamantes and coral (which was commonly used in fashion at the time but is now protected).

We're less than a month away from Easter. Which means you've got a month to figure out your decorations for when your guests come over to celebrate with you. Might we suggest this Patchwork Kitchen Towel with Bunny Appliqué from Sharon Madsen at WeAllSew that will perfectly accentuate any kitchen that is preparing an Easter feast. Find out how simple it is to make and then create one for yourself, then one to give as a gift!

The Alden Lane Nursery in Livermore, California, just down the street from The Quilt Show's own Alex Anderson, is famous for every year putting on their Quilting in the Garden show where they hang quilts from the large trees that hang over the nursery. Not to be outdone, the North Carolina Arboretum in Asheville, North Carolina actually "quilts" their garden, as they plant their plants to look like quilt blocks. Get a glimpse at how they do this in this video from 2022 showing how they're going to design the Quilt Garden for that season.

It's the middle of the week, so that means it's time for Jinny Beyer's Memory Match Game! Do you know the names of all the blocks in Jinny's Game?
