rocky mountain quilt museum

and honors the new and modern approach as well. There were two collections presented. Information is easily accessible with QR codes for web access and also nice ladies who are happy to answer questions.

I really enjoyed my trip to this museum and am disappointed by some of the other reviews on this site. The museum is small, but it is well appointed with frequently changing exhibits. The staff are wonderful, friendly and knowledgable. This is a great stop for any quilter.

My brother lives in Denver. I'm a quilter. I've always wanted to go to Golden to see the RMQM and get a copy of Sandra Dallas' "The Quilt That Walked to Golden" right from the locale. So I drive out from Ohio and he takes me to the Museum. It's a storefront, basically, small and intimate space. The exhibit was about 30 Japanese quilts made in response to the tsunami. Well curated, excellent docent, friendly staff. Nice little gift shop. Then I asked for a copy of The Book. Horrors! Because of inventory-taking, they hadn't ordered it after they ran out. Major disappointment! Should have written ahead, I guess. They directed me to the quilt shop across the street: no luck. And the town doesn't have a bookstore, apparently. Well, my brother will make a special trip and get it for me. Otherwise a nice, historical place if you quilt.

Herself had this on her itinerary (perhaps I'd have headed for the brewery visit), but on a drizzly day I had my marching orders. Well it was fascinating. We have our local quilting shops and covens here in Devon but this was much more than just another collection of old quilts. There was a full range from the early setler quilts through competition entries and onto modern avant grade designs which interested my artistic tendencies - even the abstract types reminding me of fractals. All this and wonderfully helpful and welcoming staff - quilters themselves - who talked as through the exhibits, adding to the information with each sample expanding on the significance of the historic etc. There was also a extensive library of old quilting books and a small shop at the entrance. Altogether an enjoyable couple of hours - and no I didn't get to the brewery!

This museum was free and we still got a guided tour which was just fine. Found out lots of interesting things about quilting, the colors and techniques. Very interesting small museum.

I have experienced my most inspirational quilt moments here and my most ho-hum moments. I keep returning when in Golden because I know there are potentially fantastic quilts to be seen. They always display excellent workmanship so stop in if you love the art of quilting. It will not disappoint and it just may set your quilting vibes on fire. My favorite was a display inspired by jazz musicians. It was amazing work!

This is a tiny gallery staffed by passionate quilters. There are excellent exhibits that change often of new and historic quilts, traditional and artistic quilts etc. All very well done--and tempt you to pick up your needle!

I got to visit with my sister, we had the loveliest walk thru this museum. Fascinating pieces, great descriptions, calm environment. It was a perfect visit in every way.

My quilter friend and I were a bit disappointed at the one room quilt museum. The shop nearby was actually more interesting.

There was a nice collection of both traditional and modern quilts. I enjoyed learning the history of them. There' a nice quilt store a couple of blocks away, too..

RMQM is physically small, exhibiting up to 30 quilts at a time. They change the exhibit every 2 months, and feature both traditional and art quilts. Nationally known quilters exhibit here, so it is not just the in house collection of traditional quilts that could be on display. Shop in the cute gift shop, and if you need a more full service quilt shop, there is one across the street, however it is not affiliated with the museum. RMQM is a community resource for sponsoring quilt shows at larger venues, and they offer weekend classes for kids and adults. A large lending library is open to members. RMQM is an example of a small dedicated organization creating a positive community presence.

This is indeed a small museum but always has good exhibition. Different visit, one see different quilts. True, Sue Nickels & Pat Holly's quilts are mostly by machine but one has to admire their technic and design! The ladies work there are volunteers and very helpful. We were lucky at our last visit - on a free day.

This is not a huge museum - just 20 or 30 quilts. They are incredible in terms of design. I also liked the raffle - $1 for a chance at a gorgeous quilt - hope I win!

Basically, it was a display of 2 ladies quilts, machine sewn, and pretty standard. A few of them had great colors, but there were only about 15 or so quilts. The entries at the Wisconsin State Fair are better than this.

The lady whose collection forms the basis of this exhibit did a great job. There are many quilts from the late 1800s in excellent condition on display, and the variety and quality are quite good. Interspersed with these are new creations by master quilters (Paducah award-winners). Not much interpretation here, but honestly, if you're stopping at the quilt museum, you pretty much know what you're looking at! The gift shop was also bigger than expected and very cute, with plenty of fun gift ideas, as well as quilts available to purchase. Highly recommend if you are a sewer!
