Limited-time ‘Signature Quilt Exhibition’
October 14-31
Signature Quilts dating from 1916 to 2008 will be on display throughout the museum for three weeks including the 'Bicentennial Signature Quilt' (pictured here) where triangles were sold to community members at the 1975 Centennial Arts Fair in Forester Hall. Also featured is the 'Log Cabin' Signature Quilt made by the German Methodist Ladies Aid Society in 1920 who raised money by selling signature space for only ten cents.
Assisted and advised by Klaudeen Hansen, a local quilting expert and organizer of the Prairie Heritage Quilt Show (1974-2019), the Museum will proudly display winners of their 2020 Georgia O’Keeffe Block Challenge. Inspired by the art of Sun Prairie’s most famous resident, designs were judged in three categories; cityscapes, large flowers and southwest landscapes.
