If you love hexagons or broderie perse you will love these catalogs,
they are very detailed with lots of information on the quilts and techniques also.
Thanks Joy from the Museum for your help and great communication.

I'm lucky enough to live about 100 miles from Lincoln so I try and visit the IQSCM regularly. The exhibits blow me away every time! If I didn't live here, the museum would be on my bucket list--every year. I would encourage you to make plans for a visit. There are outstanding quilt shops in the area, too--not to mention reasonably priced antiques. You'll have a good time!
ReplyDeleteThanks Clare, our bucket list keeps getting bigger and bigger. There is so much we want to see.
