Quilt Treasures

The Quilt Treasures Project is an oral history project that documents the stories of a number of notable individuals who moved the 20th Century Quilt Revival forward. These individuals include quilt makers, designers, business people, collectors, publishers, historians, and scholars.

Quilt Treasures seeks to make this documentary material available in two different kinds of media: digitally on the web through web portraits, and mini-documentaries in archival form in a museum repository.

These online portraits are intended for the use of researchers and students in the field of quilt history and have been featured in scholarly publications such as Uncoverings and the academic journal of the American Quilt Study Group, and popular magazines for quilters, including the Quilter's Newsletter. The project is a collaboration of the Alliance for American Quilts, the Michigan State University Museum, and MATRIX: Center for Humane Arts, Letters, and Social Sciences OnLine.
