Alliance for American Quilts AAQ

News Release.... happy to share the link!  "Connected by Threads" Event in Washington, DC


Asheville, North Carolina, Thursday, January 21, 2010 --The nonprofit Alliance for American Quilts will host two fundraising events in Washington, DC on Thursday, March 4.

The "Connected by Threads" events will celebrate quilts, quiltmakers and quilt history through the lens of two speakers, Dr. Carolyn L. Mazloomi and Le Rowell, both board members of The Alliance for American Quilts (AAQ). The events will benefit the nonprofit AAQ, a national organization that documents, preserves and shares the rich history of quilts and quiltmakers (www.AllianceforAmericanQuilts.org).

Another Important Venture....!!!

The Q.S.O.S. project  . . . . .

After visiting the AAQ website (http://www.allianceforamericanquilts.org/) -- lots of  inspiration from quilters of all ages, experience levels and backgrounds.

The  Q.S.O.S. manual (www.allianceforamericanquilts.org/qsos/manual.php) is on the website --- downloading it and becoming a volunteer interviewer.

I am going to present the project to my guild/ community leadership to see if they would undertake or underwrite the Q.S.O.S. project.
