Adopt-a-Quilt
The Quilt Collection is composed of more than 330 quilts and quilt-related textiles, with examples from
the late 18th to early 21st century. The collection is among the most exhibited, researched,
and utilized at the Museum, and is the spotlight of the much-anticipated exhibition, Stitches in Time.
Quilts pose challenges in care and conservation. Their size and composition require
the use of acid-free boxes and tissue to store them, ensuring they remain in the best
possible condition.
Will you help us preserve this nationally significant collection?
The Adopt-a-Quilt program allows you to symbolically adopt a quilt by making a gift
in one of three tiers:
• Gold Hoop quilts are $500.
• Silver Hoop quilts are $300.
• Bronze Hoop quilts are $150.
To see a list of quilts available in each tier, click here.
Gifts may be made as one-time gifts or in installments. You are also welcome to co-adopt
by making a smaller gift (less than $150), which will be combined with other smaller
gifts into a co-adoption of one quilt.
Your gift directly benefits the collection. In recognition, you will see your name
on the quilt's online and in-exhibit labels, and get an adoption certificate. Best
of all, you get the warm fuzzy feeling of helping preserve these quilts and their
stories for future generations.
