Ken Burns - Quilt Collector
Nebraska Stories - the Quilts of Ken Burns
This gem popped up in my YouTube feed and based on the views...well I just feel like more people might be interested.
A few years ago, the International Quilt Study Center and Museum made arrangements to borrow some of the quilts in Ken Burn's personal collection and display them. This is the story of how the display came to be.

thank you for sharing. when his display was at the International Quilt Study Center and Museum there in Lincoln NE, my guild chartered a bus and did a day trip up to view it. Wow! That was awesome! Plus the other displays in the museum and the quilt study "behind the scenes" area was so interersting! I was the one that organized the trip so I took my DIL and 2 youngest grandsons (3 & 2 at the time) and we went to see it--even the little guys were awed!
I highly recommend that if you are able to get to the International Quilt Study Center and Museum there at the Univ. of NE--do so!

Thank you for sharing the link. With a friend I am presenting "Quilts as Communication" at the Illinois Reading Council conference next march. We are looking for ways to show teachers and students how to "read" quilts.
