There was a special exhibition at the International Quilt Festival in Houston last Fall. "If These Quilts Could Talk," which represented a small portion of the Quilters' S.O.S. project from The Alliance For American Quilts.
This year at Festival, the Alliance’s Q.S.O.S. volunteer team will be recording the stories of Texas quiltmakers whose work is featured in Lone Stars III: A Legacy of Texas Quilts, 1986-2011. Interviews will take place in a dedicated space on the show floor thanks to the generosity and support of Karey Bresenhan and Nancy O'Bryant Puentes (two of the co-founders of the Alliance) and the whole staff at Quilts, Inc. All volunteers who work at least one time slot will receive complimentary show admission for the day you work and a special Q.S.O.S. t-shirt and lapel pin. Those who volunteer for additional time slots will receive exciting incentive prizes like fabric, notions and sewing tools.
Click here to visit the Alliance's website for more information on how to sign up to volunteer for the Q.S.O.S. project at Festival.
While you watch "If These Quilts Could Talk," see if you don't recognize a few familiar faces.
