Mission
To promote the understanding of the quilt as an important American grassroots art form, to share stories and documentation about quilts with a broad public and to educate Americans about the importance of documenting quilts and quiltmakers.
Program accomplishments
- Partnership documentation days: Building on previous years quilt documentation days, 2025 saw a new, more sustainable form of documentation days, working with partner organizations to complete documentation days in their local community, or with small local quilting groups. Interviews were conducted with partners including the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive (in conjuction with its Routed West exhibit and the Austin Modern Quilt Guild.)Expenses $96,279
- Virtual programming and education The Quilt Alliance participated as one of four partner organizatoins in in the fifth year of the Textile Talks lecture series. The QA presented 11 of the 51 talks presented in the 2025 season, with topics including spotlights of quilting luminaries, including Broadway actor Harvey Fierstein, and sister organizations including the AFri. 2025 also saw the return of the Quilt Alliances quilt challenge, a quilt contest with accompanying training about quilt photography and labeling.
- Go Tell It at the Quilt Show! 2025 marked the 13th anniversary of this project to document and share stories of quilts where quiltmakers and quilt owners gather. The formula for Go Tell It! is simple: one person talking about one quilt in front of one video camera for three minutes. We continued the virtual collectioin of the Go Tell It! interviews for various QA projects and events, some recorded via Zoom and others recorded and submitted by the Tellers. The Go Tell It! online archive topped 1,000 interviews with quiltmakers in 2025.
