The Story Behind Your Quilt
Saturday, October 6 from 1:00 to 3:00 PM
In conjunction with the exhibition, Politics NOT as Usual: Quilts with Something to Say, the Museum teams up with Jodie Davis and Quilt Alliance to video-document quilt treasures in South Florida's community.

Imagine the satisfaction of having a permanent record of a special quilt in your own words, and the fun you'll have viewing other quiltmakers' stories too. These short quilt-and-owner interviews comprise the Quilt Alliance's newest program for documenting and preserving the stories of quilts. Your story is unique, compelling, and important, and we want to share it with the world. Each video-taped story will be posted to the Alliance website and the Quilt Index online database.
Bring your most treasured quilt and that special story to share with quilt celebrity, Jodie Davis, from QNNtv.com. This is for EVERYONE who has a story about a quilt - whether you made it, received it as a gift, or bought it. It's the story that counts!
