On a beautiful sunny day in a small town in Iowa a big surprise was waiting for me!
I really didn’t know what to expect when I first stepped through the doors of the Iowa State Museum, after all I was in a very small town… the gal working there told me that it was a brand new exhibit and that I was welcome to take pictures as long as I didn’t use a flash…not a problem.

I kinda felt like I was in Wendys Wonderland! The quilts and quilting were absolutely amazing, spectacular and incredibly inspiring. I have been quilting making for 40 years and have dabbled in all kinds of techniques and types of quilts, then adding my Longarm to the mix 20 years ago I was able to add a whole new layer to my passion.
I am very drawn to Modern quilts and this show was full.
All of these quilts involve small piecing, which I have always loved.


















Those are only some of the quilts that I loved!!
