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.
Presented by the Quilt Alliance: "Join the Quilt Alliance for another educational Textile Talk. This program is for anyone who wants to document the special quilts, people, activities, and causes dear to your community.

This week we return to the Go Tell It at the Quilt Show series from the Quilt Alliance and are introduced to Kathy York's quilt, i Quilt, which took home Best in Show at QuiltCon 2015. It is a two-sided quilt, and both sides have a story of why they were constructed the way they were.
Presented by the Quilt Alliance: "Many makers today do an excellent job of labeling, photographing and writing down the important details of the quilts they make. But often quilts made or received as gifts or purchased are not labeled because less is known about them. Emma Parker and Amy Milne of the Quilt Alliance will introduce you to three quilts with no label at risk of becoming Anonymous. We’ll demonstrate the steps of quilt documentation, from documenting your own process, to an inherited quilt with a rich history, to a mystery quilt."
