The Quilters Hall of Fame honors those who have made
outstanding contributions to the world of quilting. The
QHF has a permanent home located in Marie Webster's
colonial revival house that she designed her famous quilts
and operated a successful pattern business. The Marie
Webster house is now the home of The Quilters Hall of
Fame documenting America's quilt making heritage. The
significance of the house was officially recognized in 1992
when it was designated a Landmark of Women's History
and National Park Service, the only one which honors a
quilter!
The mission of The Quilters Hall of Fame is to celebrate quilting as an art form by honoring the lives and accomplishments of those people who have made outstanding contributions to the world of quilting; by restoration and preservation of the home of quilt designer Marie D. Webster in Marion, Indiana; by promoting public awareness of quilting through educational programs, exhibitions, publications and research; and by collecting, preserving and documenting materials related to the Honorees of The Quilters Hall of Fame.
