Quilt Heritage Museum In a New Location
QUILT HERITAGE MUSEUM HAS A NEW HOME
We are now located inside the South Bannock County Historical Center and Museum, located at 110 E Main in Lava Hot Springs, ID. Several exciting exhibits are being planned for the months ahead. Check the Historical Center's website for business hours and other details.
We hope you will visit us soon!
"Home for Quilts" Matching Campaign
Our efforts are currently focused on finding supporters to help us raise funds for a long-term building. Having a permanent place will mean we can have on-going exhibits and many other quilt-related events. The initial push is to identify benefactors for the first half of our goal--$75,000.
Then, by using that momentum to accelerate us forward in a region-wide fundraising effort to "match" those benefactors' donations thus doubling our funds to reach our overall campaign goal of $150,000.
February 6 to May 22, 2025
The Barbara Cone Collection Exhibit
Barbara Cone, living in Concord, MA at the time, donated her entire collection of quilts to Quilt Heritage Museum. We are honored and thrilled to share them with the public. Barbara travelled often and bought the quilts which appealed to her with no strict rules for her selections other than what she liked. We hope you will too. The blocks in the quilt to the left are called Circling Swallows blocks.
