National Quilting Day - March 15th!

Mark your calendars!! March 15th, 9 am - 4 pm. The Lincoln Modern Quilt Guild is proud to be one of the sponsors of this amazing day.

National Quilting Day 2025 at the International Quilt Museum!

Did you know that National Quilting Day started in Lincoln, NE in 1991? Members of the National Quilting Association passed a resolution to celebrate quilting. See you at the International Quilting Day Museum on March 15!

See the images below for full details.

There are three great lectures happening during the day. Sandy Griepenstroh on "My Quilting Journey", Camilo Sanchez on "Exhibitions at IQM", and Mac Barnes on "Stitching the Future: Tech Meets Tradition in Quilting". Each lecture is presented twice, morning and afternoon, each identical.

All the participating sponsors will be on hand to share tips and tricks and give a preview of the latest products and machines you might find in their shops.
