Calling all quilt-lovers! Visit the Kalona Historical Village for a special presentation from the enthusiasts behind the recently released Crazy Quilt collection. Recognizable for their irregular shapes and sizes, Crazy Quilts are known for their broken pottery appearance and have been used as decorative art since before 1860. You’ll enjoy their variety of fabrics such as silk, velvet, satin, tulle, and other embellishments like buttons, lace, ribbons, and embroidery. While you are there, find over 25 hidden images in the Crazy Quilt Search and Find game. There will be no shortage of fun! No cost to attend.
