This morning was spent at the National Quilt Museum.  Two large rooms were for the permanent collection which is about 400 quilts.  The 3rd room was a for quilts on temporary loan.

They do not allow pictures in the museum so no quilt pictures for you to see.  Most of the ones currently on display were from 2007 forward.  Many were hand quilted but there were a lot that were machine quilted. For the real curious click here for their website.  National Quilt Museum

Before we got to the museum we took a little walk down to the Ohio River where it looks like Grammie is shivering.

The Tennessee River on the right flows into the Ohio.

 Along the River there were about 3 dozen murals depicting Paducah's rich history.

 Riverboat tours still operate today.

 Repairs of boats were also done in Paducah.

 Grammie patiently waiting to get inside.

We don't think the trees are ever going to turn here.

After a 4 hour tour of the museum, we hit the road for Louisville.

Still a few more places to see on the way.
