Starting this month, the Texas Quilt Museum is presenting not one, but TWO new exhibits. What a way to kick off the new year, right?
SAQA: Musica!
Muisca consists of thirty-one works by members of the Studio Art Quilt Associates (SAQA), juried by quilt master Joe Cunningham, who is based in San Francisco California. He has been a professional quilt artist since 1979 and was an artist in residence at the De Young Museum in San Francisco. He has written ten books on quilt making and his blog showcases how he crafts his quilts from start to finish.
Can’t make it to Texas? Here is a video of the exhibit when it was recently at the National Quilt Museum.
Super Samplers!
Who doesn’t love samplers? They are timeless treasures that showcase a quilter’s artistry. These quilts in the exhibit are mostly from the International Quilt Festival archives, and the twenty sampler quilts are dated between 1795 and 2014.
You may recognize the Baltimore Album style as a leading example of samplers and the exhibit features three of this style quilt.
Hours and Dates
The Exhibits are scheduled to run through May 1, 2022, so hurry into the Texas Quilt Museum before the music ends and the samplers disappear.
The Texas Quilt Museum is at 140 W. Colorado St., La Grange, Texas 78945.
Limited hours and days
Hours are 10 am-4 pm only on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays.
