Due to the unprecedented nature of the effects of Hurricane Helene, the Quilt Alliance lost many of their paper records, quilts, exhibition and documentation equipment, and supplies due to flood damage to their storage space in Asheville, NC. Due to this loss, the Quilt Alliance will take some time to get back on its feet, but is already making strides to get there. Please consider donating to their 2024 Giving Quilt, which will go towards maintaining and improving access to projects like QSOS, Go Tell It​, and so much more in the recovery effort.

Update as of 11/29/24: "We are so grateful to all of you who have made donations to our Giving Quilt. You have helped us raise $53,470 towards our hurricane recovery fund. We are a short $6,530 away from our goal. If you would like to contribute, the link is below. Thank you!!!"

Original Message from the Quilt Alliance:

"These quilt squares represent the heart of our alliance: quiltmakers, quilt lovers, and YOU! These squares also represent the projects and tasks central to our mission of documenting, preserving, and sharing the stories of quilts and their makers.

We need you to help us put together this quilt!
