      Leave  Quilts Not Fabric

      Jenny Kae reflects on a poignant moment from her time at a local quilt shop before providing a range of actionable strategies for completing UFOs (UnFinished Objects) and organizing your fabric stash. This heartfelt narrative resonates deeply with quilters and is an invaluable addition to any quilting enthusiast’s repertoire.

      Save Our Stories

      Amy Milne has been the executive director of the Quilt Alliance since 2006. She has over two decades of experience as a nonprofit administrator, educator and artist. Amy has overseen the expansion of the Quilt Alliance’s oral history projects, including the creation of the Go Tell It at the Quilt Show! project, as well as Quilt Alliance events: Quilters Take Manhattan/a Moment and the Not Fade Away: Sharing Quilt Stories in the Digital Age conference.

      Quilt Alliance is a nonprofit 501c3 organization established in 1993 with a mission to document, preserve, and share our American quilt heritage by collecting the rich stories that historic and contemporary quilts, and their makers, tell about our nation’s diverse peoples and their communities.

      The project was co-founded in 1999 by a dedicated group of Quilt Alliance board members and volunteers who identified an extraordinary gap in the quilt world: no one had ever created an oral-history project to capture the history, craft tradition, and personal experiences of America’s quiltmakers. They envisioned QSOS as a grassroots effort and designed the interview process in ways that would make it accessible to interviewers and quiltmakers at all skill levels and backgrounds, allowing them to explore the central question: “if this quilt could talk,” what would it say? Now, twenty-five years later the collection includes over 1,200 recorded interviews with quiltmakers from novices to professionals.

      Our speaker will be presenting their lecture via Zoom.
