The Alliance for American Quilts - Come See Where Quilt History Has Been and Where It's Going!

 

The Alliance for American Quilts brings together people who love, study, make, and collect quilts in the cause of documenting, preserving, and sharing our great American quilt heritage. The Alliance is committed to collecting the rich stories that quilts tell about our nation's diverse people and communities.

At the Center for the Quilt Online, you can find:

  • Quilt Query. Experts from our knowledgeable board will answer your questions about quilts, including care, history, restoration and evaluation.
  • The Quilt Index. Our growing digital reference library features searchable information and photographs of thousands of quilts.
  • Quilters' S.O.S. - Save Our Stories. Our extensive oral history project has hundreds of in-depth interviews with quiltmakers across the United States.
  • Quilt Treasures. Our documentary web portraits profile key figures in the great twentieth-century Quilt Revival, including Virginia Avery, Cuesta Benberry, Jinny Beyer, Patty and David Crosby, Jean Ray Laury, Bets Ramsey, and Yvonne Porcella.
  • Boxes Under the Bed. Our national project seeks to ensure the preservation of historic quilt-related materials, such as patterns, letters, and clippings.
  • Special Features. You'll also find film clips from The Quilts of Gee's Bend, Hearts and Hands, and Quilts in Women's Lives.

Support The Alliance for American Quilts. We need your help to continue bringing you the great stories and information you can find only at the Center for the Quilt Online. The Alliance is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Donations are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law. For information about making a contribution to The Alliance, go to www.allianceforamericanquilts/support/.

Since 1993, The Alliance for American Quilts has implemented its projects in partnership with institutions and organizations nationally, including Michigan State University, and the Center for American History at The University of Texas at Austin, and the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress.
