Calling all International Quilt Festival attendees!

Will you be attending the International Quilt Festival in Houston, Texas this year? If so, we want you!

Quilt Alliance will be filming 3 minute videos for our Go Tell It at the Quilt Show! series at the International Quilt Festival this year. Check out some of our videos from last year here.

We need quilters to tell us the story of their quilts, and volunteers to help us collect these stories. We also need volunteers to help staff the Quilt Alliance booth and share information about the organization.

If you’ll be in Houston and you:

  • would like to bring a quilt and share it in your own Go Tell It at the Quilt Show interview
  • have a quilt in the IQA ‘A World of Beauty’ judged show OR a Special Exhibit and would like to share it
  • are interested in being a beloved, celebrated and much-needed volunteer (you can give us as little as 2 hours) at the Quilt Alliance booth or Go Tell It at the Quilt Show booth

We’d love to talk to you!

Sign up for a Go Tell It! Interview
If you arre interested in participating in Go Tell It at the Quilt Show, either with a quilt in the show or a quilt you’ve brought, you can sign up here.

If you’d like to help out in the Quilt Alliance booth (sharing brochures and membership information) or at the separate Go Tell It booth (registering interviewees, collecting forms, keeping time) you can sign up here.

Please share this post with friends who are headed to Houston–we hope to see you there! Even if you can’t volunteer, stop by the Quilt Alliance booth and say hello!

If you have questions about volunteering or the Go Tell It at the Quilt Show project, email us at qsos@quiltalliance.org.

Thanks!
Emma Parker, Q.S.O.S. and Go Tell It! Project Manager

About quiltalliance

The Quilt Alliance is a nonprofit 501c3 organization established in 1993 whose mission is to document, preserve, and share our International quilt heritage by collecting the rich stories that historic and contemporary quilts, and their makers, tell about our nation's diverse peoples and their communities. In support of this mission, the Alliance brings together quilt makers and designers, the quilt industry, quilt scholars and teachers, and quilt collectors to further the following goals: To promote the understanding of the quilt as an important grassroots art form. To make information about quilts available to a broad public. To educate the public about the importance of documenting quilts and quiltmakers so that their stories will not be lost.
