Congratulations to Michael A. Cummings, who was just named a 2023 NEA Heritage Fellow by the National Endowment for the Arts. Michael, who was previously featured on The Quilt Show in a field piece, brings his quilts to life with a rich level of artistry and history. In this Go Tell It at the Quilt Show! interview from the Quilt Alliance, you'll be able to see both on display as he talks about his Frida Kahlo quilt.
Lilo Bowman, Editor-in-Chief and Production Manager for The Quilt Show, has made a Go Tell It video for the Quilt Alliance to preserve the story of her quilt, Looking at the Stars and Thinking of You, which she made in honor of her sons when they lived and worked overseas. It is a perfect story for this holiday season, especially when we can't be with the ones we love.
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.
On June 18, 2021 the Sacred Threads Exhibition is gathering virtually for a very special event. They have partnered with the Quilt Alliance to bring you some very special stories of joy, inspiration, spirituality, healing, grief and peace/brotherhood through quiltmaking in their Sacred Threads Quilt StoryShare.
