"Quilters Take Manhattan," put on for the last seven years by the Quilt Alliance, took its final bow this September. In the future, the Alliance will be focusing their efforts in other areas, including the Quilt Story Road Show:
"For the past seven years, we have proudly presented this Big Apple event featuring some of the quilt world's most talented and fascinating speakers. We raised important operating funds and signed on many enthusiastic new members. We're so excited to take this celebration of quilts, stories and friends to new communities starting in 2018, our 25th anniversary year.
Quilt Story Road Show, our new education and outreach program inspired by QTM, will be offered for a fee to guilds, groups, museums, quilt shows, exhibitions, shops, businesses and communities across the U.S. who want to document, preserve and share the stories of quilts and quiltmakers in their community. These one to two day events will demonstrate and offer hands-on training in oral history, quilt labeling, and other ways to ensure that quilts and their stories do not fade away. Register here to have information emailed to you about our 2018-2020 programs."
