Quilters S.O.S. - Save Our Stories
Quilters S.O.S - Save Our Stories strives to capture the stories of living quiltmakers in partnership with The Alliance for American Quilts. Volunteers interview quilters. Those interviews are captured on tape and transcribed. The interviews and transcriptions are housed not only with the Alliance, but are also archived with the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress. Interviews are used for academic research, by guilds seeking more information about potential teachers, and more.

You can be a part of saving these stories for future generations. Volunteer to be part of the project; we have a particular need for transcribers. Suggest a quilter you think should be interviewed, or let us capture your quiltmaking story. Contact us with your questions!
