Having volunteered as a docent at the Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum for eight years, Paula Pahl has watched the museum grow and says she has a very good idea of what the museum has to offer. RMQM is one of a handful of museums in the United States devoted to the display and preservation of quilts. A quiltmaker herself for 30 years, Paula offers that she is "thrilled" to be named its new executive director and looks forward to increasing the museum's growing national presence. Paula replaces retiring director Janet Finley. RMQM is located at 1111 Washington Ave., Golden, CO 80401; 303-277-0377; rmqm@rmqm.net.
