Document a quilt at QuiltCon
|
If you're headed to Austin for QuiltCon this week (Feb. 21-24), come see us in the Quilt Alliance booth (#107) and consider bringing a quilt with you to share with the world! Our new project, "Go Tell It at the Quilt Show!" is designed to capture the stories of quilts where quiltmakers gather.
The formula for Go Tell It! is simple: one person talking about one quilt in front of one video camera for three minutes.
Unlike our Quilters' S.O.S. - Save Our Stories project where the interviewee must be a quiltmaker, the Go Tell It! interviewee profile is much broader. Go Tell It! interviewees can be the maker of the quilt they bring to talk about, they can be the owner of the quilt, or they can tell the story on behalf of the quilt's owner or maker. Maybe you'd like to tell the story of your first quilt, the history of a special family quilt, or one with a funny story. Whatever your motivation, every quilt has a story and we are eager to document, preserve and share that story for the education and inspiration of today's quilt lovers and tomorrow's historians and genealogists.
To reserve a time slot for your Go Tell It! interview, just sign up on this online schedule or come to our booth (#107) to sign up during the show. Limited time slots, so don't delay and don't forget to bring your quilt! There is no charge to participate, but we hope that once you see this project, and all the work we're doing to save quilt history, you'll want to become a Quilt Alliance member.

Also during QuiltCon we're having a special Scavenger Hunt to introduce you to projects like Quilters' S.O.S. - Save Our Stories and The Quilt Index. And everyone who plays will receive one of our brand new Quilt Alliance quilt labels (below) and a chance to win an even bigger prize.  Just download the Scavenger Hunt form before you leave home or come by our booth (#107) to pick one up. Then use the Quilt Alliance and Quilt Index websites to find the answers. Answer the questions and bring your form, including your contact information, to our booth at QuiltCon during show hours.  All those who submit a completed form will receive a special quilt label in our booth and be entered to win one of six copies of Why Quilts Matter: History, Art and Politics, a landmark nine-part documentary series. This two-DVD set includes 9 episodes and 7 bonus feature. Generously donated by Shelly Zegart, executive producer and host for the series and co-founder of The Kentucky Quilt Project and the Quilt Alliance. Winners will be announced the week of February 25 here and on the Quilt Alliance Facebook page. Prizes will be mailed to winners the same week.
Happy Hunting--hope to see you at QuiltCon.
