my quilts on display
 
I had a lady from the Kalona museum, call me. She ask me if I still quilt and if I have quilts. I said YES. She ask me if I would be interested in displaying some of my quilts at the museum. I ask her will there be other quilts going to be displayed. She said no. They are displaying different items in the museum. Old/attic thread spool holders. Some old sewing machines. And what else I cant remember. She told me she will let me know when. She did say this, it will be from July to Nov. Don-isewman

​Congratulations on your "one man's exhibition!"

carolynjo 03-22-2017 10:48 AM

Congratulations, Don--a well-deserved honor! I would check on the security level for your quilts, maybe consider a chip somewhere? I recall a Mar-mitsvah quilt stolen from a display and, despite the family's proof of ownership, the thief blackmailed them and they had to pay thousands to get the quilt back.

sJens 03-22-2017 01:21 PM

Congratulations-I always enjoy seeing your beautiful quilts.

red-warrior 03-22-2017 05:02 PM

Wow that is great!

Your quilts will be blessing to others. Isn't that what quilting is all about?

Congratulations! That is quite an honor.

Cotton Mama 03-23-2017 01:59 PM

Congratulations! Your quilts are amazing.

quiltingshorttimer 03-23-2017 06:04 PM

oh, Don--what an honor and so happy for you! That's the town that has quilts on the corners of the sidewalks, right? How neat is this??

lynnie 03-24-2017 07:36 AM

i admire your quilts and now others will see what all the fuss is about. What an honor that is to you. I'd go for it. mybe you can sit by your quilts on a weekend and explain to all the people your construction methods. What a wealth of information you'll be able to pass on to others. Congrats!!!

JoyjoyMarie 03-24-2017 12:37 PM

Congratulations on such an honor - can you get your grandchildren to loan you back their quilts??? It is wonderful that the community realizes what a treasure your work is. Let us know where the display will be - some of us RVers might roll through and want to STOP!!

cashs_mom 03-24-2017 01:24 PM

That is an honor! Although I sew and quilt for my own joy, it's nice when someone else recognizes your talent.

callen 03-26-2017 07:06 AM

Wow, such an honour. Be proud of your work, you deserve the recognition.

QUILTNMO 03-29-2017 03:26 PM
