TAFT MUSEUM QUILT EXHIBIT IS ONE NOT TO MISS

Beth Callahan Editor

LEBANON, OH -- With the interest in Warren County for quilting, this is an exhibit not to miss. Most of us remember the amazing Warren County Quilt Shows of the past at the Harmon Museum and at the Fairgrounds, which are no longer held here locally. We still have many quilters in Warren County and the Warren County Quilt Guild.

Currently, INDIGO AND THE ART OF QUILT MAKING is on view at the TAFT MUSEUM OF ART (316 Pike St. Cincinnati, Ohio 45202) until January 11.

This unique show is focused around the use of classic Indigo dyes and their use in crafting quilts from the 1800s through the current day. Each quilt on display has indigo in the patterns. Twenty quilts are on display, as well as a video demonstration of the indigo dye process. A display also shows the range of indigo dying techniques, which produce various effects on the fabrics. The most exciting part of the exhibit is the diversity of the quilts on display and the artistry involved in making them.

This exhibit was organized by the International Quilt Museum at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, which has the largest public quilt collection in the world.

While you are at the TAFT be sure to check out the galleries in the “historic house”— formerly owned by Charles Taft, Wm.Howard Taft’s half brother. There are beautiful Chinese porcelains and many paintings by famous artists on display, as well as the Duncanson Murals in the front hall.

The TAFT MUSEUM OF ART is:

Open 10-5 Wednesday through Monday. (CLOSED on TUESDAYS)

ADMISSION:

Free for Taft Members, military and youth (under 17) .
FREE : SUNDAYS AND MONDAYS .
WEDNESDAY -SATURDAY ADMISSION: $15.00 Adults, $12.00 Seniors
