June First Friday

Second Chances: Upcycled Modern Quilts by the Lincoln Modern Quilt Guild

On June 7, IQM welcomed around 170 visitors for a gallery talk with members of the Lincoln Modern Quilt Guild whose quilts are featured in the new IQM exhibition, Second Chances: Upcycled Modern Quilts. The artists shared their stories of their modern quilt interpretations created with a variety of recovered, repurposed or reclaimed materials, as well as textiles like livestock feed bags and used clothing. The artists were inspired by quilts in the West Gallery exhibition, Feed Sacks: An American Fairy Tales as their prompts.
