Autumn in Ohio by Noriko Endo Contemporary Quilt Art from the Marbaum Collection. This exhibit will feature 41 studio art quilts, dating 1984-2008, from the private collection of Hilary and Marvin Fletcher. These quilts were acquired from entries in the Quilt National Competition, where Hilary served as project director from 1982-2006. Gallery II will feature 10 quilts from Texas quilter Cynthia Collier. Teresa Wong will give a free lecture on Saturday, Oct. 3 at 3 PM on the history of Japanese Quilt. The lecture and PowerPoint presentation will highlight the fascinating story from her new book, Japanese Contemporary Quilters and Quilts: The Story of an American Import. Museum admission is free beginning at 2 p.m. Forty years ago, Japanese quiltmakers were heavily influenced by American quilts and quilters. Today, there are two to three million quilters in Japan, making it the second largest concentration of quilters outside the U.S. Wong’s lecture will take visitors through this remarkable transformation and explain how it took place. In 2014, Wong was named the first Faith P. and Charles L. Bybee Foundation Scholar by the Bybee Foundation and the Texas Museum. The honor was awarded in recognition of her research on Japanese quilts in conjunction with her Master of Liberal Studies degree at Rice University.
