WHY ARE WE HERE?

Our purpose is to inspire understanding of the social, cultural, and artistic significance of African-American quilts. Our goal is to document, research, and preserve African-American quilt history through data collection and collaboration with local, state, and national societies, museums and universities.

African American Quilt Documentation Study Group

Quilt documentation is necessary because it preserves our historical information. It also conveys a testament that reflects how we live, our values, and our beliefs. Quilts are a part of a family's history. By documenting a quilt, you are documenting your own history for future generations of your family.

Sewn Narratives of African American Quilt Guilds

Sewn Narratives is a nationwide Study Group project to permanently document the legacy of African American Quilt Guilds. AAQDSG has collaborated with the Quilt Alliance to gather and share the legacies of African American Quilt Guilds. Below are interviews of guilds who have agreed to share their legacies with you.

The Quilt Alliance’s mission is to document, preserve, and share American quilt heritage by collecting stories about quilts and their makers that tell about our nation’s diverse peoples and their communities. Quilters’ S.O.S. – Save Our Stories (QSOS) is the largest oral history collection about quiltmakers in the world, archived in the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress.

AAQDSG is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that depends on the generosity of individuals and organizations to be able to develop programs and services to advance African American quilt history.
