History and “Her” Story merge in Museum’s vibrant spring exhibits!
The Texas Quilt Museum debuts two incredible new exhibits, which will run from March 30-June 25. One that celebrates the still-unfolding career of a quilting icon,
and one that’s a little “spicy.”
They are Caryl Bryer Fallert-Gentry: 40 Years of Light, Color, and Motion and Along the Spice Route. Fallert-Gentry will give a free lecture on April 1 at 3 p.m. Museum admission will be free beginning at 2 p.m.

Along the Spice Route, which is curated by Ann Reardon and Paula Golden, features art quilts on the theme of spices, celebrating the marvelous flavors that
make our food interesting and appetizing. Many of these spices have also been used for other purposes—including “curing” baldness, reducing indigestion, acting as antibacterial agents, and to ward off evil spirits. Along the Spice Route offer a glimpse into spice markets, shipping routes, and caravan trails.
