Block of the Month Club

In order to combine her love of history, genealogy, and quilting, Cathy started work on a series called “Baltimore Goes Modern.”  This series uses blocks commonly found on album quilts and transforms them with a modern twist.Block size, quilt design, fabric colors, quilting, and block deconstruction are the main tools that Cathy uses to give a modern feel to a very traditional block.

Artists from around the world were challenged to create a new quilt about the virus, life during quarantine, or simply how they preserved their sanity during these uncertain times.  This exhibition features 27 quilts selected by Sandra Sider, Curator of the Texas Quilt Museum and editor of SAQA’s Art Quilt Quarterly.

Denise makes contemporary art quilt portraits of very non-contemporary structures: megalithic Celtic stones and monoliths, and more recent (but still centuries old) monastic ruins. 

These stonescapes–stone circles, standing stones, dolmens, burial tombs, abandoned churches, forgotten cemeteries, and lost-in-history portals and passageways –embody both immense timelessness and physical presence while evoking emotional remembrances of human pasts largely forgotten.

The National Quilt Museum is honored to host a collection of quilts from the 9/11 Memorial & Museum for an exclusive exhibition in commemoration of the 20thanniversary  of the  September 11, 2001 attacks, which killed 2,977 people, and the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, which killed six.
