It's time for the National Quilt Museum's 2016 Quilts for Quilting Campaign to begin. 

The Quilts for Quilting Campaign is one of The National Quilt Museum's largest and most important fundraisers. Last year over 500 quilt enthusiasts participated.

Organizers hope the public will participate this year and help the Museum achieve its fundraising goals.  Here's how it works: The program is simple and everyone can participate. To get involved simply donate a full size quilt or miniature quilt to the Museum for fundraising purposes.  The quilt can be a new creation or an antique and it can be any size. Most donated quilts will be a part of one of their three annual auctions. In a few cases they are held to be used in later events. NQM is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization so all donations are tax deductible as allowed by law. 

Over the last six years, the Quilts for Quilting Campaign has led to critical funding for the Museum. Funds raised in this program have helped the National Quilt Museum expand several programs and expand its promotional efforts. These proceeds along with other donations have ultimately led to thousands more people experiencing the work of today's quilting community through educational programs, in-facility exhibits, travelling exhibits, and other programs. 

In addition to helping the Museum, each campaign donator will receive a free gift. How to donate your quilt to the "Quilts for Quilting" campaign: Send quilts to:            

National Quilt Museum             

215 Jefferson Street             

Paducah, KY 42001

Write "Attn: Quilts for Quilting" on the box, include your name, address, and contact information so the museum can send a receipt and a gift.

There is no limit to the number of quilts you may donate to the campaign. The museum welcomes multiple donations and requests you donate by April 1, 2016.

The museum relies heavily on the generosity of the quilting community for funding and needs everyone passionate about quilting involved. 

2016 is the Museum's 25th anniversary and they would love to ring in this milestone with the most successful auction ever. If you have any questions about this program, contact Lori Robbins or Amanda Ball at 270-442-8856.
