Sunday at the Museum

Sundays can be very exciting at the Museum. Most months we have a lecture or panel type presentation from a variety of artists and professionals in the sewing/quilting world, or from groups with special textile information to share.

Join us in the Gallery for 1 hour lectures with Q&A after the talk and some refreshments as you socialize a bit. The Gift Shop is open- so you can shop before the lecture.

To expedite check-in, we use pre-registration for both members and non-members. 
If you have to cancel after PRE-REGISTERING - we ask that you call by Friday night - so RMQM staff has time to contact WAITLISTed people to allow them to attend. THANK YOU!
