We are happy to announce that the Quilt Alliance has been approved to receive an American Rescue Plan grant from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) to help the arts and cultural sector recover from the pandemic.
The Quilt Alliance is excited to announce that their virtual quilt exhibition, Warm Remembrances: Quiltmaking and Memory Making, is now open to the public. This exhibition was created in conjunction with Quilters Take a Moment last September, but now anyone can tour the exhibit and see the amazing quilts, curated by Laura Hopper.
The Quilt Alliance is a non-profit organization founded in 1993 to support and develop projects to document, preserve, and share the history of quilts and quiltmakers. They bring together groups and individuals from the creative, scholarly and business worlds of quilt making to advance the recognition of quilts and their makers and they would like your help.
Kristi Parker, one of our fabulous members here at The Quilt Show, has completed her Go Tell It video to preserve her quilt's story for the "Go Tell It!" Remember Me: Memorial Quilt StoryShare. Watch her share her story so that others will do the same and share their's as well.
Another of our wonderful The Quilt Show members, Dale McMillan, has completed another Go Tell It video to preserve her quilt's story for the "Go Tell It!" Remember Me: Memorial Quilt StoryShare. Take a look as we become even closer as a community through our shared stories.
Remember when Alex told the story of her father's quilt? Here's The Quilt Show Member Susan Lindsey and her quilt as she told it for the "Go Tell It!" Remember Me: Memorial Quilt StoryShare.
Have you recorded your video for the Go Tell It! series for the Quilt Alliance yet? The Quilt Show fan and guest of the show Meg Cox has, and after watching hers you'll see just how easy it is!
The Quilt Show is teaming up with the Quilt Alliance and the International Quilt Museum to collect and share stories about memorial quilts. If you have made a memorial quilt or received one in honor of someone in your life, we would love to hear your story.
