Heritage Quilt Days will be our theme throughout 2012. We have worked hard to provide our patrons with some super exhibits for the next 9 months--then we will be putting the Christmas trees back up! Remember, our museum galleries are open daily, and there is no admission fee.
I am pleased to officially announce our season of exhibiting and events for 2012:
Feb.3-April 30: World-class quilter, Lynn Taylor will be exhibiting her miniature and larger quilts in our Main Gallery. Lynn recently won "Best of Show" at the National Quilt Museum for her miniature quilt entry. Lynn is a delight and we are so honored to be working with such an accomplished artist. Lynn is a retired art teacher from Scott City Elementary. She resides in Cape Girardeau with her husband, Gerald--also a retired teacher. We hope to feature some of Lynn's items in our gift shop during this time, also. Here is a nice article on Lynn Taylor if you want to know more:

April 14: The East Perry County Cultural Alliance will be hosting a quilt show. We will post their flyer information as soon as it is available.
April 27-June 24: We will be hosting a traveling quilt exhibit from the National Quilt Museum. The title of the exhibit is: "New Quilts from an Old Favorite: Orange Peel." If you want to see some pre-glimpses of the exhibit go to:
www.quiltmuseum.org/nqof-orange-peel.html
We will have a preview of the exhibit available during the Scenic Drive. Lynn Taylor's quilts will also still be displayed during Scenic Drive. The full National Quilt Museum exhibit will be opened May 1.
We want to thank Vintage Software/and their "Antiquemalls.com" website, Ray & Carolyn Schmidt, Susan Fiehler, and the Trinity-Altenburg-Ladies' Aid for sponsoring this exhibit. We would not be able to bring this incredible display to our site without their support. The exhibit will be free to the public, daily 10am-4pm. It will be displayed in the Main Gallery.
June 29-Sept. 7: An exhibit of quilts that have been quilted by the regional Lutheran Ladies' Aid groups. More info. to come soon.
Sept. 14-Nov. 10: A Ken Steinhoff Photographic Exhibit of Regional History Photo Documentation-including Wittenberg, MO. More info. on this exhibit will be forthcoming. We are so honored to have Ken as a "friend of the museum." His photographic shoots are stunning, and you are going to be pleased with the Wittenberg shoots from the late 1960's-juxtaposed with current shots of the region.
Take Care,
Carla Jordan
