Presented by the Quilt Alliance: "If your favorite quilt could talk, what would it say? In a world of volatile social media platforms and endless scrolling, how do we make sure the stories behind our quilts survive? For more than 25 years, Quilters' Save Our Stories (QSOS) has been preserving the voices of quiltmakers through recorded oral history interviews. These stories aren't buried in a feed, they're archived for future generations, ensuring that the makers remain connected to their work and their place in history. Join Quilt Alliance QSOS Program Manager, Emma Parker, and Interim Executive Director, Nellie Wu, for a special Textile Talk exploring this remarkable project and why it matters now more than ever."

Presented by the Quilt Alliance: "The first QuiltCon was presented by the Modern Quilt Guild in 2013 and the Quilt Alliance was there documenting quilts and makers with a brand new video documentation project called Go Tell It at the Quilt Show! The annual show has provided a great opportunity to document the changes in both modern quilting and the show itself. Join QA Project Manager Emma Parker for a guided tour of the QuiltCon Go Tell It! collection including brand new videos from the 2024 show in Raleigh. Modern Quilt Guild Executive Director Karen Cooper will join Emma for a Q&A after the screening." Register today and watch when this episode airs this Wednesday, April 24, 2024, at 2 PM EDT.
