Join the Quilt Alliance on July 20, 2013 for a one-day conference about how to use today's tech tools to document quilts. Every quiltmaker and quilt lover can become her or his own quilt historian, gathering the story behind every quilt, old or new, and finding ways to document and share that story. This will be a rich and compelling event, including one of our signature Quilter's S.O.S. - Save Our Stories interviews with quilt icon Jinny Beyer (see her show for free here, as a Star Member), along with a short speech by Janneken Smucker, a professor of digital history, and a choice of multiple hands-on workshops on topics like social media for quilters and how to self-publish your own quilt book.

The Quilt Alliance is also offering The Quilt Show members the chance to win two free tickets to Not Fade Away.
The cost for this one-day spectacular event is only $45 (or $55 for Quilt Alliance nonmembers) for the entire package -- lectures, workshops, a breakfast reception, boxed lunch and a ticket to see the Sacred Threads exhibit too. And if that weren't enough, QA is throwing in a special USB drive jammed with practical information from the Quilt Alliance to take home.
Enter for your chance to win two tickets. One entry per person. The tickets winner will be announced in the June 11 Newsletter/Blog.
