KITES

Kansas Interpretive Traveling Exhibit Service

To the casual observer, a quilt is a collection of fabric scraps tastefully arranged to form a pleasant design. Should you ask a quiltmaker, however, what she sees when she looks at a quilt, or search deeper and ask why she spends time laboring over such a project, the answer is elaborate and complex. This exhibit explores the question of why Kansas women make quilts and what value the activity holds for them. Produced by the Kansas Historical Society with partial funding from the National Endowment for the Arts.
