6007. Visit the Wisconsin Museum of Quilts and Fiber Arts in Cedarburg

 When planning our adventure, I sent Stacy a list of places in Southeast WI on the bucket list. We narrowed it down between Milwaukee and Cedarburg. When I saw the Facebook Post about the pancake breakfast, I decided we'd go to Cedarburg. 

The one thing on my bucket list for Cedarburg that I knew the hubby would not enjoy was the Wisconsin Museum of Quilts and Fiber Arts. Heck, I wasn't even sure I would enjoy it but I wanted to check it out.  Wisconsin Museum of Quilts and Fiber Arts not located downtown Cedarburg as we both thought but more on the outskirts of town. It is open 10-4 Wednesday-Saturday and 12-4 on Sundays. Admission is $10/adults and $6/kids.  Because it is not downtown, there is plenty of parking at the museum.

Wisconsin Museum of Quilts and Fiber Arts current exhibit is Heidi Parkes: Soft Magic. The museum is an old barn and the quilts are displayed through the barn. Each quilt tells a story. They were all impressive.

I looked for hidden objects in the quilts that were in several quilts. It was fun looking for them. I found several quilts with hidden animals. I don't know if they were supposed to be hidden or part of the story. I really didn't read the descriptions of the quilts. I tend not to read the descriptions at a museum unless something really catches my eye and I want to learn more. 

The foyer and the staircase was work don by Heidi Parkes students. My favorite was the blood splatter looking piece. 

Personally I don't think the museum is worth the $10 admission but I am cheap. However, it is worth a visit if you are into the fiber arts. Even though I may moan at the $10 admission, if there was a cool show there in the future, I would seriously consider going. 

Maybe one day I will figure out how to make a quilt to knock that off the bucket list. In the mean time I will just enjoy other people's quilts.
