Cuesta Benberry Quilt Kit Collection at the Michigan State University Museum
Benberry was the pioneer of research on African American quiltmaking. When she passed away on August 23, 2007, she left behind a legacy of public scholarship and her collections. After her death her family offered her collection to the Michigan State University Museum due to family connections to MSU and Cuesta’s own endorsement of the MSU Museum’s continued dedication to research, collection development, education, and exhibition of quilts made by African Americans and other minority populations.
Included in the donation was Cuesta’s extensive collection of over 300 quilt kits (typically including instructions and the fabrics needed to complete a quilt top). Kits from Bucilla, Dritz, Frank's, Gold Art, Herrschner's, HomeNeedlecraft Creations, J. C. Penney, Jack Dempsey, LeeWards, Marvil Art, McKim Studios, Paragon, Progress, Rainbow Art, Sears, Virginia Snow, Vogart, and WonderArt are included in this collection.
