Quilters' S.O.S. - Save Our Stories Galleries
The quilts presented in these galleries are quilts from the Quilt Index that were made by quiltmakers documented by the Quilts Alliance’s project, Quilters' S.O.S.- Save Our Stories (Q.S.O.S.). Q.S.O.S. creates, through recorded interviews, a broadly accessible body of information concerning quiltmaking, both present-day and in living memory, for scholarship and exhibition. This grassroots project continually captures the voices and stories of quiltmakers and posts the transcribed interviews here. The archive for the original audio recordings and photographs is the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress.
Q.S.O.S. volunteers from across the country conduct and transcribe these interviews. The Alliance for American Quilts appreciates their generosity of time and dedication to the project and is always looking for guilds, organizations and individuals to undertake their own Q.S.O.S. projects.
