Missouri Bicentennial Quilt
4-H Quilt
We are proud to be the home of the Missouri Bicentennial Quilt. This beautiful piece of art was created by quilters all over the state, each making a block to represent their county- all 114 of them!
This exhibit also features the 4-H Quilt made in honor of the Bicentennial.
In addition to these two quilts, we are delighted to feature each of these quilters and their counties, telling their stories and histories.
Redford Gallery
Our curator, Dakota Redford, is delighted to share her personal collection of Christmas Creche.
Over the past 20 years, Dakota and her husband Ryan have gathered over 500 nativity. This year we have the privilege to view not only the nativity quilts, but the other nativities in the collection from more than 30 countries and a variety of materials.
All things JENNY

We have featured quilts from block, quilts with all hand work, and her family favorites! This year Jenny is "Reaching for the Stars". Step inside to sneak a peak and learn to "Light the World" together
