United in Memory at the International Quilt Study Center & Museum
The terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, took more lives than any other single human-engineered event before on United States soil. News media broadcast the sights, sounds, and voices of the day, inscribing the tragedy into the memory of viewers. The human process of collectively mourning our losses and sharing our comfort began immediately.
A few weeks after the attacks, Corey Gammel and Peter Marquez of Long Beach, California, visited Ground Zero in New York City. Stirred by this experience and the example of the AIDS Memorial Quilt, the men founded an organization to create the United in Memory 9/11 Victims Memorial Quilt.
As of 2015, the quilt is part of the International Quilt Study Center & Museum's permanent collection. Seven panels will be on display at the museum August 26-October 9.

The Quilts of Ken Burns in 360
Renowned filmmaker Ken Burns has collected quilts since the early 1970’s. In this 360 video from Nebraska Stories, take a virtual tour of an exhibit featuring his unique collection of quilts at the International Quilt Study Center and Museum in Lincoln, Nebraska.
A Place to Build Our Exhibitions
Continuing our favorite memories from the past five years at Quilt House, Exhibitions Assistant Jen Graham gives us a look behind the scenes at our exhibitions work room.
Quilts of Southwest China
Textiles are material evidence of history and culture and can tell us much about trade, religion, traditions, migration, communities, and individuals. The intangible characteristics—the uses, meanings, stories, skills and knowledge about production—associated with these textiles are often integral to the identity and cultural heritage of individuals and communities.
The textile traditions in China of making and using quilts or bedcovers have received little attention by scholars, collectors, and museums; few examples are in public or private collections and little has been published on them. The research and collecting done for Quilts of Southwest China provides some of the first documentation of the intangible and tangible cultural heritage associated with the practices of piecing and appliquéing fabric together to form artistic and functional textiles.
Visit quiltstudy.org to view the online exhibition and learn detailed information about the pieces featured in this video.
Quilts of Southwest China originated and debuted at Michigan State University Museum in 2015. The International Quilt Study Center & Museum version of the exhibition includes pieces from the IQSCM collection in addition to those from the Yunnan Nationalities Museum, Guangxi Nationalities Museum and Guizhou Nationalities Museum that were part of the original MSUM installation. Curators of the IQSCM exhibition: Marsha MacDowell, Ph.D. (MSUM), Lijun Zhang, Ph.D. (Guangxi Nationalities Museum) and Marin Hanson, M.A. (IQSCM).
This exhibition would not have been possible without the commitment of the following institutions to engage in and support a collaborative, bi-national research inquiry into the intangible and tangible aspects of a material culture tradition in southwest China:
Michigan State University Museum (East Lansing, Michigan, USA), Mathers Museum of World Cultures, Indiana University (Bloomington, Indiana, USA), Museum of International Folk Art (Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA), Yunnan Nationalities Museum (Kunming, Yunnan, China), Guangxi Nationalities Museum (Nanning, Guangxi, China), Guizhou Nationalities Museum (Guiyang, Guizhou, China), and the International Quilt Study Center and Museum, University of Nebraska-Lincoln (Lincoln, Nebraska, USA).

Nebraska Stories | The Quilts of Ken Burns
The quilts of Ken Burns on exhibit at the International Quilt Study Center and Museum.
Filmmaker Ken Burns has collected quilts since the 1970s. Unlike his films, Burns has not publicly shared his collection until recently when he allowed the International Quilt Study Center and Museum to host exhibit a small selection of them. We talk with the filmmaker to learn why he chose to share his quilts and why he chose Nebraska.
United in Memory: 9/11 Victims Memorial Quilt Pop-Up Exhibit
The terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, took more lives than any other single human-engineered event before on United States soil. News media broadcast the sights, sounds, and voices of the day, inscribing the tragedy into the memory of viewers. The human process of collectively mourning our losses and sharing our comfort began immediately.
A few weeks after the attacks, Corey Gammel and Peter Marquez of Long Beach, California, visited Ground Zero in New York City. Stirred by this experience and the example of the AIDS Memorial Quilt, the men founded an organization to create the United in Memory 9/11 Victims Memorial Quilt.
The quilt consists of 142 panels containing personalized blocks for each victim of the terrorist attacks in New York, Washington, D.C., and Shanksville, Pennsylvania. The work of 3,600 volunteers from 18 countries totals more than 15,000 square feet, and the quilt panels have toured the country since late 2002. According to Gammel, the quilt serves as “a healing balm to our wounded spirits and as eternal beacons, reaffirming our respect for life and freedom and inspiring an end to hatred, bigotry, ignorance and intolerance.
While the United in Memory 9/11 Victims Memorial Quilt toured the United States, co-founder Corey Gammel sought a permanent home for the quilt. With the generosity of the Robert and Ardis James Foundation, the International Quilt Study Center & Museum acquired the quilt and will care for it and continue to make it available for public display.
Since arriving at Quilt House, thousands of volunteer and staff hours have been devoted to cleaning, accessioning, photographing and housing the panels within the museum’s collections.
Two of the panels are on display Sept. 7-22, 2018, in the Byron & Sara Rhodes Dillow Conservation Work Room at the International Quilt Study Center & Museum at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
NOHO / M55 GALLERY - Ludmila Aristova
ABOUT THE ARTIST
A graduate of Moscow Textile
Institute, Ludmila Aristova came to
fiber art after a career in fashion
design. Aristova's work is included
in collections of the Museum of Arts
and Design in New York,
International Quilt Study Center &
Museum in Lincoln, Nebraska, and
the All Russia Museum of Applied
and Decorative Art in Moscow, as
well as numerous private collections
in United States, Canada, Asia
and Europe.
ABOUT THE WORK
Ludmila Aristova's painting palette
consists of fabric and thread
combined to create smooth color
and design transitions within an
abstract format. Her use of varied
fabric textures produces a color
spectrum ranging from rich to
subtle in effect. While recognized
for her signature prairie points,
wafering and embellishments,
Aristova nonetheless experiments
with and applies new techniques to
her art.
