Share Your Quilt's Story at Quilt Festival in Houston

The Quilt Alliance is seeking quiltmakers interested in documenting their quilts at the 2016 International Quilt Festival.

QA will have a booth (#1460-1461) at this year's International Quilt Festival in Houston, Texas, November 3-6. In addition to sharing information about the Alliance and its work, Quilt Alliance staff will be interviewing quiltmakers throughout the show as part of its Go Tell It at the Quilt Show! project.

Anyone with a quilt on exhibit at the festival, or who'd like to bring a quilt with them, can participate in Go Tell It!, a project that seeks to document quilts and their makers in three-minute videos.

Anyone who has a quilt story--not just quiltmakers but quilt owners, designers, collectors or friends & family of a quiltmaker--is invited to record a 3-minute video with a special quilt. There are no pre-arranged questions or guidelines; just one person telling the story of one quilt in three minutes or less.

Each interview slot lasts for approximately 15 minutes to include time for setting up the interview and audio testing. Go Tell It at the Quilt Show! is a free service for the quiltmaking community, provided by the Quilt Alliance, but a requested donation of $10 helps cover the cost of travel, staff time, web hosting, and video equipment.

If you would like to volunteer at Festival in the Quilt Alliance booth, find out more and sign up here.
