From Storage to Spotlight: New Additions to the Collection

The Virginia Quilt Museum is pleased to present From Storage to Spotlight, an exhibition showcasing the newest additions to our permanent collection. These recently acquired quilts and textile pieces—many on display to the public for the first time—represent the continued growth and evolution of the museum’s holdings. From classic patterns to contemporary designs, these works reflect the rich diversity of quilting traditions across time, place, and culture. Each piece offers a unique glimpse into the personal and communal stories stitched into fabric, deepening our understanding of American textile heritage and the museum’s ongoing mission to preserve it.

Join us for a rare look at the quilts that have made the journey from private hands to public heritage—and see how every new acquisition adds to the story we continue to tell.
