RVers Destination - NATIONAL QUILT MUSEUM In Paducah, Kentucky
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 жов 2021
- We had over TWO HOURS of footage of the National Quilt Museum! The quilts were stunning and inspiring. It was extremely difficult to edit this down to twenty minutes. We SO hope you enjoy this tour and encourage you to find a quilt museum near you and enjoy the talent, the art and the stories represented there.
While going through the footage we noticed a few quilts shown that don't have the name of the artist in the footage. If you are an artist, or know one of the artists, who's quilt is not labeled in the video, PLEASE let us know who you are and which quilt is yours. We have so much respect and admiration for your work and want to make sure that you are appropriately represented and recognized. We thank each and every one of you for your willingness to share your vision and talent.
Finally, thank you to the National Quilt Museum for inviting us in before opening time and giving us free rein of the museum. Becky, you're a gem. Thank you, thank you, thank you for your stories, knowledge of the quilts, patience and sweet, lovely smile.
Though we may not always have time to respond, please know that we read EVERY SINGLE COMMENT. Thank you so much for your support.

Hi guys! When you see something beautiful, then you try to take it inward. Even though this is not my thing, I'm just completely breathless out of all the creativity and beauty.
Exactly, I think non-quilters would love to visit there. It was amazing. :)
The museum was wonderful. Thank you for taking us through it with you. The flag was exquisite! The artistry and talent is extraordinary.
We were so impressed!
Wow, such a beautiful museum , gorgeous quilts . Thank you for sharing . Just beautiful 🌹
They were so beautiful! See you tomorrow!
I teared up when you started showing the 911 Exhibit.. beautiful.
Good Day Dean and Shalane, I have enjoyed this video. How special that you were given a guided tour. I found it extremely interesting. I love hearing from someone (Becky) who knows of details about certain quilts history and expresses their excitement while speaking.. so nice! Thank You for Sharing. 🥰❤️🥰 Chris-Raleigh NC
Thanks Chris! We will be in NC for the next 45 days. :) Becky was awesome.
Fabulous. Thanks for this touching and beautiful experience. Start quilting. Smaller is good for small spaces. Do it and don't be afraid. I taught quilting to 4th - 8th grade kids. I know you can do it.
First, thanks for following us on our channel. We appreciate it! Love your words of encouragement. :)
I was so touched by the 9-11 quilts. That was an amazing thing those ladies did to remember all who died that day. I will never forget it. I am also amazed at all the beautiful quilts on display there. Talented people for sure. I really enjoyed tagging along with you. Thanks!💚💚💚💚
We are always happy to have you along with us!
Soon to be showcased at the National Quilt Museum...Travel Montage Memories Quilt by the duo, GrassRoots Living!! One never knows! I really appreciate the antique quilts the most...and that photo turned quilt...WOW! Love one of my past Darryl and now Otis! What a great place! Very much appreciated! Take good care now and have yourselves a wonderful weekend! Bruce and Otis
LOL 'Soon to be at the National Quilt Museum....GrassRoots Living'. However, like you said, 'one never knows'. (Although I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for it to happen) ;) Thanks and you have a blessed week!
Thank you this is beautiful! Speaking of beautiful, your hair today is very pretty!
So nice of you to say so. :) Thanks for following our channel. :)
Wow! Thanks for the great sampling from the National Quilt Museum. Just amazing.
Glad you enjoyed it! Hopefully you will be able to visit there one day. :)
Thank you for this tour. The 9-11 quilt had me in tears. So glad I got to see this! The quilts were all so beautiful!
We are so happy that you got to go with us too. :) Yes, the 9/11 quilt was so touching.
Wow! That is an amazing museum! Beautiful works of art!!
Yes it was! Thanks as always for joining us. :)
There was so many nice ones. I really loved the flag.ty for sharing
The flag was my favorite as well. :)
This was wonderful. I probably will never get to see this in person so I sew enjoyed this tour. Thank you.
That makes our day! We love it when people get to go with us on our adventures that they will not probably get to go on in their own lives. :)
Another place for the bucket list. Thank you!!
Our pleasure! It is worthy of a bucket list. :)
That was an amazing tour you got! Sooo many beautiful quilts and I aLeo loved the one with the redwood trees!
Connie, I wish you could have been there. It was even more impressive in person. The quilting talent we saw was off the charts. Amazing!
My sister and I love to look at the quilts that are so artistic, but we make simpler ones that you can wrap up in, stay warm, and form memories with. We all have our own journey! If you want to see antique quilts go to the quilt museum the next time you are in Lincoln Nebraska, it has 13 quilts from my former piano teachers husband, as well as one my Mom helped make.
The museum in Lincoln is definitely on our list of places to go the next time we are in SE Nebraska. We love antique quilts as well!
Thank you for sharing. Oh my goodness ' I am a quilter and only wish I had the imagination of some of these people. This was a fantastic video
Thanks so much, Brenda!
WOW! My mind is completely blown! I just thought I was a quilter! Wow 🤩 You have brought a entire new Quilting world to me! Thank you so much!
I know, right?!?!?! Quilting is truly an art form. :)
wow i have gone to heaven,thankyou so much for this lovely video,please stay safe @have a lovely weekend debs.xx
Thank you for your support of our channel. We love getting your comments. You have a wonderful week. :)
Thank you for sharing absolutely beautiful quilts. Now on my to do list!
Thank you for watching! It is worth the trip to Paducah. So amazing!
I would love to see the 911 quilt display. You reminded me what a beautiful place that is. Thanks
Paducah isn't too far from Hannibal. ;) Thank you for everything!
I have REALLY wanted to visit this museum for a long time! I was enthralled! Thank you SO MUCH for bringing it to me! I was so emotionally affected by several that they left an imprint on me. A trip to Paducah KY is moving UP on my list!!
You are so blessed to be able to travel to the places you go, and you bless us by sharing it!
☺️❤️☺️❤️☺️❤️
Our pleasure! Thank you so much for your wonderful comment. As I read it to my wife, her eyes started watering. Thanks!
@@GrassRootsLiving
Awwwwwwwwwwww!
Wow, I have always had a fascination with quilts. I had no idea there was a museum. Thanks so much for sharing! I will be on the lookout for one on our travels 🤗
PS… it was so great meeting you guys! 🤗🤗🤗
(Cindy)
You would love this museum if you love quilts. :) It was great meeting you as well. Hope to meetup again with you on the road. It would be great to talk one on one. :)
Beautiful quilts! Wow I would be in overload at all of those amazing quilts! So much heart and soul goes into making a quilt. I just wanted to touch them all and run my fingers along the fabric and seams to try to put myself in the heart of the quilter. Thanks for sharing!
We had a feeling that you would really love that museum. :) It is not that far from the Kansas City area to Paducah.... ;)
Thoroughly enjoyed this video, you could do a 3 part series of your tour - that would be wonderful!! Thankyou for sharing !!
We actually thought about it. Thanks for your sharing your thoughts about it. :)
That’s so cool!!! I hope you Both went to that huge fabric store Hancock’s !!!
We didn't make it to Hancock's this time. It is on our list though for the next time. :)
Fantastic! Was able to go there this summer on my big road trip. It was early July so some different quilts were on display. The 9/11 quilts weren’t there yet which is probably good for me because I would have been too emotional. That flag quilt captivated me the same as it did you. Amazing. I spent an easy 10 minutes just examining it closely & then moving away, then back close again. You have to do that with so many of them. The detail in those quilts is so amazing. The urge to touch & feel was almost overwhelming sometimes. With some of them I was looking so closely at the details that I felt like my nose was in the way. I like to hand quilt sometimes but I could never do the fine detail work those artists do. I also thought the Lemur quilt was painted at first. And those Baltimore Album quilts were incredible! I spent over 2 hours in there & could have stayed longer. I am drawn more to the vintage quilts like they have at the Missouri museum but the sheer artistry and the heart & soul that goes into those modern artwork quilts is inspiring.
I don't think that we could have said it any better ourselves. :) We spent over 2 hours in there but we could have stayed longer. It was just amazing! Thanks for commenting again. We love to hear from you. :)
The quilts are so beautiful and amazing. Please don’t get overwhelmed by them, I’ve been quilting 20 years and just do pieced quilts and that makes me happy it all depends on your talent, some people just have a gift.
Thanks for the support. We will try our best not to be overwhelmed. :)
Oh it is hard to not touch. I'm headed to the Houston International Quilt Festival and you have me geared up to see a bunch of great quilts! And oh the shopping..... I know it won't be as big this year, but still it will be fabulous! Guess I will have to run over to the Texas Quilt Museum in LaGrange to get a fix before heading to Houston....lol. Thanks for taking us along.
It is so hard not to touch. ;) I didn't know there was a quilt museum in LaGrange. The next time we are in that part of TX, we will have to check it out. :)
We have been there but it's been several years. Beautiful quilts! Amazing memories
I bet it seemed like a whole new place!☺️
They change quilts in there regularly. I'll bet if you go again you will love it. :)
Amazing museum. It really touches your heart seeing the quilts made after 9/11. ❤️🌺
That 911 quilt was a real touching piece of art. :)
thanks for this video. We were there at the end of May. Becky gave me a tour as well and I did a video but mine won't be up probably the end of the year. She showed me other quilts that what you saw. they are all beautiful.
I'll will have to check out your video! It is a wonderful quilt museum. :)
@@GrassRootsLiving my videos when in Hamilton are scheduled for Dec.
Simply amazing quilts. Thank you for sharing. The 911 touch a place in my heart that will always remember the tragedy- yet the sense of togetherness from that day.
Agreed! Both were important parts of that day.
Wow such beautiful quilts. I've never heard of a quilt museum before . 😃😃thanks for an interesting video 📹👍
Go back and look at their visit to the Missouri Quilt museum in Hamilton. Another wonderful place to visit.
@@ruthhilsdorf3210 Oo OK Ruth will do 🙂👍
You’re welcome 😊!!!
Ps love your hair without the bandana!!
Thanks! :) :)
I love this museum. I’ve been twice. Beautiful video
The great thing that it is always changing. We can't wait to go again. :)
I bet as a non quilter this was so over your head...I know it would be even for me as a quilter...someday I hope you try a simple quilt. Yes you still can in a trailer! Its therapy at its best...becareful tho its habit forming lol. Plus if you stay around Jenny it sure will rub off on you...what a great teacher she is!!
We are working on our first project now. Yes, it is very addictive! :)
Thanks for sharing the museum.
Love the ponytail Shalane.
Are you on your way to NC???
Yes, we are in North Carolina about an hour from Wilmington. Leaving to tomorrow for the Statesville area. :)
Amazing talent! I’ve got a long way to go and so much to learn! Love the 9/11 quilts. Love the pleated quilts. I know Yukon Hamada from when we went to the Tokyo quilt show. Ok even if you don’t want to do it yeah I’m gonna be behind the camera oh yeah norito has the most beautiful Quilt and Waggs East Class Barbi Largest Fresno Bandit Bar I don’t have that kind of talent like that. I hope we get to visit this place one day.
Yes, it was amazing talent! What is the 'Waggs East Class Barbi Largest Fresno Bandit Bar' that you mentioned in your comment?
@@GrassRootsLiving I have no idea 🤷♀️ 😂 I think that my phone had a mind of it’s own.
Just thought I’d let you know that I’ve been quilting for over 10 years and my seams are hardly ever 1/4”. It doesn’t have to be, you just need to be consistent. Get close and find a spot on your sewing foot that you can easily line up for your seam (close to 1/4”) and just be consistent. Jenny Doan does this too. I never stress over it. I’ve found it’s very forgiving.
Thanks for the tip. I can see me getting stressed over the fact that it isn't 100% perfect. Jenny always says, "finished is better than perfect". :)
Just visited Kaffe quilts were there!
Glad you had the chance to go! So cool!
😍🥲😢💓Thank you.
Thank you for following us on our adventures!!! :)
We went there we harvest host in the parking lot
You harvest host?
Harvest host is an organization that hooks rv travelers with places to stay other than rv parks. Museums, farms & ranches, other places. Membership fee is reasonable. Short stay only, overnight or maybe 2 nights. Just room for a few rigs at a time, no hookups, but you stay for free. You are expected to purchase something from the gift shop or some fresh produce, whatever, as a means of thanking your host. I would have done that a lot this past summer but needed electric to run the a/c in my trailer. Heard about them from my sister in law. They have a Class A motorhome so have a generator. I just have a 20 foot travel trailer so no generator & it was too hot to not have cooling at night.
I did not know that they were a harvest host. How cool is that?
