Quilters Take a Moment: Then & Now
Presented by: Quilt Alliance
In this Textile Talk, attendees will sample programming from the last three years of Quilt Alliance’s annual virtual event Quilters Take a Moment. Watch excerpts of Quilters’ Save Our Stories oral history interviews with two accomplished and celebrated quilt artists: Dindga McCannon and Carla Hemlock. Watch Go Tell It! interviews with quilt collectors and museum curators about lesser-known gems in their collections. We’ll also show excerpts from a panel discussion about what it means to be a Quilt Keeper today. Quilt Alliance staff will end the program with a sneak peak of this year’s event–nine workshops over three days to help you step up your quilt documentation game, from photography to writing to labeling and record keeping.
