SUMMARY:Bed Turning: An American Quilt Show
DESCRIPTION:BED TURNING: An American Quilt Show\n\nJoin us on June 6\, 2026\, for a traditional “Bed Turning” quilt presentation\, where multiple quilts are carefully stacked on a bed and revealed one at a time. As each quilt is turned and lifted for viewing\, the presenter will share its history\, construction techniques\, estimated date\, and the personal or cultural stories connected to the piece. Originating as a way for women to showcase their finest needlework to neighbors and communities\, bed turnings continue to offer a meaningful and engaging way to experience the beauty and heritage of handmade textiles. \nThis program will feature quilts from the Hastings Museum collections\, presented in an intimate\, storytelling format. A bed will serve as the focal point of the event\, with quilts layered and revealed sequentially so each piece can be appreciated individually along with its unique story. This is a special opportunity for both quilters and non-quilters to explore historic and distinctive textiles and learn more about the craftsmanship and preservation behind them. \nThis program is sponsored by Humanities Nebraska. \nDuring Chautauqua programming\, the Museum will also announce the quilts and quilted items selected for inclusion in the upcoming exhibition American Patchwork: Celebrating 250 Years of Heritage\, opening September 18\, 2026\, and running through January 3\, 2027\, in the Museum’s East Gallery. \nFor more information about the exhibition and quilt call\, visit: hastingsmuseum.org/american-patchwork-call-for-quilts \n\n______\n\nWhen: Saturday\, June 6th at 2:00-3:30 pm\n\n\n\nWhere: Hastings Museum\n\nWho:  All Ages\n\nPrice: Free!
