Second Chances: Upcycled Modern Quilts opens today!

Today is the day! Bring your friends and family! Second Chances: Upcycled Modern Quilts On display May 14 – Nov 12, 2024
Inspired by "Feed Sacks: An American Fairytale," in the West Gallery, Lincoln Modern Quilt Guild members have created modern versions of vintage quilts using a variety of recovered, repurposed, or reclaimed materials. Textiles from denim to livestock feed bags to used clothing and everything in between are given new life in the upcycled creations.
And don't forget, Friday June 7 is a special reception to highlight LMQG's "Second Chances: Upcycled Modern Quilts". The guild has 33 quilts in this exhibit. First Fridays are FREE events held on the first Friday of each month. Enjoy free access to the IQM galleries from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.
