Here is a perfect Last-Minute Gift for the Tech-Savvy Quilters and Quilt-Lovers on Your List.
Thousands of quilts will be at your fingertips with Quilt Index To Go, a new mobile application just released by the nonprofit Quilt Index, the premiere online archive of quilts.
After downloading the software for a one-time fee, you will be able to view historic and contemporary quilts straight from the Quilt Index with detailed information about pattern names, dates, quiltmakers, and the collections that contributed them.
With Quilt Index To Go, you'll get a unique quilt image every day, but the app also allows you to scroll endlessly through the more than 50,000 quilts in the Quilt Index contributed by more than 25 museums, libraries, and documentation projects. You can follow links to their detailed collections records on the Quilt Index for even more information.
If you don't know what an awesome resource the Index is (or you don't own an Apple device), go check out the online version free to everyone, www.quiltindex.org.
Cost of the app: just 99 cents. Proceeds go toward Quilt Index expansion and sustainability. The app is available for iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad.
