Groups interested in documenting their stories can receive free Go Tell It! training materials, rent an equipment kit with everything needed to document quilt stories, or, for a fee, bring Quilt Alliance staff on site to capture Go Tell It interviews with a group. The program makes it easy to document quilts and quiltmakers, producing video interviews that can be shared and preserved for generations to come. Here's a video from a recent visit to the African American Quilt Circle of Durham, NC of member Carol Beck sharing her haunting quilt 'Strange Fruit'.

And here is an interview collected on National Quilting Day at the International Quilt Study Center and Museum at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln with Judy Irvin and a family quilt she brought to the museum.

If your guild or community is interested in capturing and sharing the stories of your quilts, whether they're old or new, 3D art quilts or well-worn bed quilts, hand-sewn or long-armed, get in touch! We'd love to hear from you--just send us an email at qsos@quiltalliance.org.
