Why THE QUILT CURATOR?

The Reconciliation Quilt, Lucinda Ward Honstain,
Brooklyn, NY, dated 1867, IQSCM 2001.011.0001

What is your guild or organization looking for in a quilt program?

• Enthusiasm and excitement?
• Lots of beautiful picture of quilts?
• Stories that bring quilts to life?
• Ideas for new ways of thinking about quilts?

With my extensive knowledge of quilt history and worldwide quiltmaking traditions, I can bring all of this and more to your next quilt program. And with my years of speaking to the public about quilts at the International Quilt Study Center & Museum at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, you can be assured of an evening your members will enjoy and remember.

I have been studying and writing about quilts for over a decade and am the editor/co-author of "American Quilts in the Modern Age, 1870-1940." I have curated nine quilt exhibitions, written a dozen scholarly articles, and given talks about quilts all over the world. Learn more about my work at the quilt museum here.
