Iowa QuiltScape for January 31, 2021

Virtual Iowa Quiltscape Series

Join us each Tuesday at Twelve for a live program from the Iowa Quilt Museum. Some weeks will focus on our current exhibit, String Theory, while other weeks will focus on various aspects of the quilting landscape (or Quiltscape) in Iowa.

Our February 2nd session will feature quilter, collector, designer and lecturer, Teddy Pruett. Teddy is a contributor to the String Theory exhibit. Bonnie Hunter also plans to join us for our program if her internet connection from the mountains of SW Virginia will cooperate!

Virtual Gallery Walk

Now Available for Purchase

Unlike our Tuesday virtual programs that are more conversations, our virtual gallery walk video is just the quilts, accompanied by narration of the exhibit descriptions. The video is now available for purchase in our online store for the price of single admission, $6. Just like admission to the museum, this is intended as a ‘single viewer’ purchase. If you would like to discuss the possibility of a guild or group presentation, please contact Megan Barrett, director@IowaQuiltMuseum.org

Unfortunately, we do not currently have the ability to deliver this ‘on demand’ and must do so manually. You will receive an email from the Iowa Quilt Museum within 24 hours of your purchase with instructions for accessing the private video.

Also, in order to allow this item to be purchased in the same transaction as other items, we have to list it as a physical item in our online store. This means it will incur a shipping charge. However, all orders are personally reviewed and shipping charges will be refunded on any purchases that contain only digital items.

If you are an Annual Member of the Iowa Quilt Museum, you can receive a complimentary copy of the virtual gallery walk in lieu of your free admission to this exhibit. Simply email us to request that: director@IowaQuiltMuseum.org.

WINTER Hours at the IQM

Monday – Saturday • 10:00am – 4:00pm
Sundays • Noon – 4:00pm

The Iowa Quilt Museum IS open to visitors and we welcome you to come see this fantastic exhibit in person. With an open floor plan, great ventilation, contactless options for transactions and heightened cleaning procedures, we feel that the Iowa Quilt Museum is a relatively safe place to visit! We know that’s not the right choice for every person, though, so keep reading for opportunities to see more of the Iowa Quilt Museum, and String Theory, in a virtual setting.
