                                                        The only institution in the northeast devoted solely to quilts
                                                        celebrates a Silver Anniversary

                                                        Picture
                                                        In 2012, the New England Quilt Museum celebrates its Silver Anniversary as the only museum in the northeast devoted solely to the preservation, promotion and celebration of this uniquely American art form. From a gleam in the eye of a very enthusiastic and dedicated group of Founding Mothers, the museum has grown to become a landmark in the heart of the country's historic textile producing region.

                                                        Throughout the year, special events are planned to celebrate this landmark achievement. Visit our Special Events or Silver Threads Quilt Challenge page to learn how you can be part of the fun.

                                                        If you haven't been to the museum yet, this is DEFINITELY the year to plan a visit.
                                                        And if you have? We're hoping that you'll join us for all the anniversary year fun!
