    When deciding to visit Paducah on a recent weekend my wife was doing some research into things to…read moredo. I was surprised to find not only that the National Quilt Museum was located there, but that there was a National Quilt Museum at all. My wife does a lot of quilting so the decision to go was easy. The grounds of the National Quilt Museum are gorgeous and well kept. There's a large what I'm suddenly going to call a Grand Lawn with sidewalks and some statuary. Ticket are $15, but they do offer military/veteran discounts as well as students and seniors. The interior of the lobby is spacious with the check-in desk directly in front of you, gift shop to the left, restrooms to the right, and the entrance into the exhibit area dead ahead. By the restrooms you'll find the elusive wooden quilt. Yes, a wooden quilt. And it is bee-yoo-ti-ful. Once in the main exhibit hall you're amongst probably close to 100 quilts. To be honest, I had no idea how many types of quilts there were, so this was an education for me. The level of detail, craftsmanship, creativity, and ingenuity that went into some of these quilts is absolutely astounding. From a distance it may look like a photograph of, say, a tree, but when you get closer the details start to emerge. Some of them were absolutely awe-inspiring. Our visit, in total, came out to a little over an hour. Wifey was in her element so I wasn't going to rush her as the looked at each quilt, admiring the time and effort each one took. There were a couple docents who walk around answering questions and insight, where possible. Some of the quilts could be purchased...and I don't mean if you're on any kind of budget. One such quilt was sold for over $30,000. That's right and not a typo The gift shop is well-sized to the museum. It's well lit and has A LOT of craft/quilt items, bobbles, and trinkets. Pricing was very reasonable. I have to admit, I was surprise by this museum. I expected to be bored and wanted to get out, but I found myself interested and educated.

    Just WOW! Please…read moreenter and pause a moment to take a peek, perhaps a wider glance, maybe a stare or an oogle, and then slowly take the time to look even more closely. Let the patterns, the colors, the sizes, the sometimes dramatic and hypnotic illusions and sense of motion draw you into the myriad of creations all wrought by creative minds and exquisitely skilled crafters. I have taught fine arts, crafts, and art "appreciation" most of my adult life.....and, I've created works using similar materials as well as others. BUT...I never have achieved the high degree of artistic elegance I found in these works during my visit to The National Quilt Museum. The scope - from miniature to room-filling examples of quilted (stitch by stitch by stitch) masterpieces to me is simply astounding. The untold hours of planning, design and execution of these works of immeasurable creativity do more than impress. They draw you into the realm of the artists/crafters, exposing both imaginary and real worlds of tones and hues and patterns and scenes. It is somewhat of a disservice to not name all the artists represented during my visit, but feel I must mention the featured artist Caryl Bryer Fallert-Gentry ("50 Years of Art Quilts" retrospective). Astounding hardly describes her work. The art genuinely brought light and life to my eyes and lasting joy to my heart. Note: I apologize to each artist represented for not specifically identifying them by their work in my photos. Mea Culpa
