The National Quilt Museum
The National Quilt Museum is the world's largest and most prestigious museum devoted to quilts and fiber art. Established in 1991, the Museum is committed to the preservation and advancement of quilting. In an average year, the Museum is visited by quilters and art enthusiasts from all 50 states and over 40 countries around the world.
Located in a 27,000 square foot facility in historic downtown Paducah, Kentucky, the Museum's three galleries feature exhibits of the finest quilt and fiber art in the world. The Museum's vibrant and breathtaking exhibits are rotated 10-12 times per year. Our primary gallery, with over 7,000 square feet of exhibit space, features quilts from the Museum's collection which includes over 320 works of art. Our two other galleries feature touring exhibits of unique and diverse quilts and fiber art.
The Museum has also gained a reputation for its educational programs. Throughout the year, the Museum hosts educational programs on a diverse number of topics for quilters of all skill sets. Quilters come from all over the world to attend the Museum's educational programs taught by master quilters.
The Museum's youth education programs are attended by over 4,000 young people of all ages. Several of these programs have received national media attention. The School Block Challenge, sponsored by Moda Fabrics, is an annual contest in which participants are challenged to make a quilt block out of a packet of three fabrics. Now in its 17th year, this challenge continues to be utilized by schools and community organizations as part of their art curriculums in over 20 states. Other popular youth programs include the annual Quilt Camp for Kids, Kidz Day in the Arts, and the Junior Quilters and Textile Artists Club.

Downtown Paducah | Kentucky Life | KET
With its abundance of artists, galleries and museums, Paducah is widely considered one of Kentucky's most creative communities. The town sought and received a UNESCO designation as a City of Crafts and Folk Art.
The heart of Paducah is its downtown. From the earliest explorations of Kentucky's Western Waterlands region, the confluence of the Ohio and Tennessee rivers brought people to Paducah's riverfront and the city grew from its banks.
Home to the National Quilt Museum, fiber artists around the country come here each April for the American Quilter's Society Annual Quilt Show and Contest. Downtown is also home to the Yeiser Art Center, Maiden Alley Cinema, the Carson Center, and the Paducah School of Art.

Rolling Dachshund Pull Toy
Wooden Dachshund toy made by Delmar Eby of London, KY. Offered in the Fort St. Clair Kennel Club Raffle.
Delmar, a father of six, began making toys while teaching at a private school. Making toys was a way for his son to have something to occupy his time in the evenings. Although Delmar's skills are basically self-taught, both his father and grandfather liked to work with wood. He comments, Perhaps it's in our blood!
What began as a hobby in 1989 has grown into a full-time business. The Eby's toys are functional and are constructed completely with wood using very little hardware. Most of the wood used to construct their toys is obtained locally, with the exception of cedar and mahogany. Their items are finished with a natural oil that is non-toxic.
The Ebys are members of the Kentucky Craft Marketing Program.
The Ebys' work can be found at the Kentucky Museum of Art & Craft in Louisville, KY; at the Appalachian Artisan Center in Hindman, KY; Shaker village at Pleasant Hill, Harrodsburg, KY; Shaker Museum at South Union, Auburn, KY; Red Bird Mission Crafts, Beverly, KY; Log House Gallery, Berea, KY; Appalachian Fireside Gallery, Berea, KY; Cozy Corner, Whitesburg, KY; Completely Kentucky, Frankfort, KY; National Quilt Museum, Paducah, KY; My Old Kentucky Home State Park, Bardstown, KY; Top Drawer Gallery, Berea, KY; and at the Kentucky Artisan Center at Berea, Berea, KY
