Quilt Stories from Sacred Threads

Earlier this summer the Quilt Alliance collaborated with the Sacred Threads Exhibition to document, preserve and share the stories of artists whose work was included in the Sacred Threads biennial exhibition in Herndon, Virginia. Forty artists were videotaped telling the story of their quilts. The Go Tell It! formula is simple and powerful: "one quilt + one person + one camera, three minutes --another quilt story saved!"

If you would like to document your next exhibition with Go Tell It at the Quilt Show! interviews, contact Emma Parker, the Quilt Alliance oral history projects manager.
