Christmas in July: Page 62. The pattern in this issue is based on a quilt from the collection of the International Quilt Study Center. Its searchable database holds images and information about one of the largest publicly owned quilt collections in the world. Established in 1997 with the donation of the 900-quilt James Collection, the IQSC now conserves nearly 2,000 quilts from all eras, traditions, and numerous national origins in the storage facility located on the University of Nebraska-Lincoln campus. The quilts will be moved in 2008 to a 30,000-square-foot museum devoted to their conservation, exhibition, and study which is now under construction. For information on programs, exhibits, and educational resources of IQSC, visit quiltstudy.org.
