Hi, all! I wanted to share some pictures of me at the first stop of my Big Adventure. On Saturday, May 8, 2010, I went to the International Quilt Study Center in Lincoln, Nebraska. Here I am sitting on the sign...
...and here I am sitting on the bench out front, next to the neat sculpture that sits in front of the three-story glass-and-brick building.
Wow! What a place! This state-of-the-art facility is only three years old, and it was built with "green" methods and materials. Inside, my first stop was the Virtual Gallery. You can look up nearly 900 quilts at this station and see them displayed life-size on the screen. There's also a recording booth where you can record and share your story.
Here I am in one of the galleries, enjoying pieces from the "Perspectives" exhibit:
And here I am, taking a break on the stairs with the brochure for the upcoming exhibit, "South Asian Seams: Quilts from India, Pakistan, & Bangladesh." Boy, they really are the INTERNATIONAL Quilt Study Center, aren't they?
I sure had a lot of fun here, and I'm sure you will too. Lincoln is a very cool little college town, and there were lots of fun places to visit. But the IQSC was the best. Learn more at http://www.quiltstudy.org/. See you soon!
Great story! Isn't the Quilt Center the best?? I was very excited to see this blog as I was one of the quilters in the First Annual UNL Employee Quilt Show which was on display when you visited! Our quilts can be seen through the windows in the first pic! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteHi Quincie! Thanks for your travelog quilting blog! I want to "follow" you. Please, when you have the time, add a feature on your blog so people can follow you when you have an update.
ReplyDeleteNebraska quilters are pretty excited about having such a state of the art facility in our neck of the woods!
