View Quilts Online
Members of the quilt world are very generous in allowing their quilts to be viewed online. The Appliqué Society, a group of eager enthusiasts, now has a “Show and Share” page on which members’ work is featured. Check it out, and you will agree that there are talented people in that circle!

Another place to see some award-winning quilts is the site that is associated with the Houston Quilt festival (etc.) - www.quilts.com You’ll have to root around to get to the exact page where this year’s winning quilts are located, but I’m sure that you’ll enjoy browsing.
If old quilts are your thing, don’t forget to visit the International Quilt Study Center located at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln. Visit http://www.quiltstudy.org/ and view more than 1800 images of quilts in the online database/search function, or sign up for the “Quilt of the Month” program which sends you photos and details of a specific quilt in the collection, each month.
In addition, one can read about the collections of Michigan State University, here: http://museum.msu.edu/glqc/collections.html
So, you see, there are many places online to see and read about quilts, as well as our own website: http://www.quiltersmuse.com
We are happy to be here with you.
