New Exhibit
Time Stamps
On display now at the Iowa Quilt Museum
In 1991, Ricky Tims was a career music composer, producer, performer, arranger, and conductor living in St. Louis. That summer, he was given his Granny’s 1955 Sears Kenmore sewing machine and decided to make a western shirt to wear two-stepping. After looking at the men’s shirt patterns in Cloth World, and realizing the complexity of attaching sleeves, collars, and cuffs, he
abandoned the idea—thinking it would be much too difficult for someone who had never sewn before.
Here is where Ricky’s quilting career began because he figured a quilt is FLAT— no collars or cuffs! Of course, he quickly learned one of the most challenging aspects of making a quilt is getting it flat. Now Ricky is known for his stunning designs, fabric, and entertaining educational experiences.
In the Timestamp exhibit, you will learn more about Ricky’s journey, and view quilts made over the course of his quilting career—even his first quilt! One thing you’ll quickly discover is Ricky has a great eye for color and is a phenomenal storyteller.
