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!

    Gallery closes to the public at 12:30 PM to expedite set up.

    Doors OPEN at 1:30 PM for seating.

    Time: Lecture begins at 2 PM.

    Light refreshments served.

    Lectures are generally the 2nd Sunday of most months.

Dedicated to making beautiful and functional works using reclaimed materials, he uses clothing, bedding and other fabrics to make quilts, stuffed animals and other functional items.
