Announcing Upcoming Documentation Day for Quilts and Rugs – March 3, 2012

Saturday, March 2, 2012     10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

• $5 fee per rug or quilt

Due to the huge success of the last Documentation Day, we will be offering advance appointment scheduling!  Check back for further details!

Calling all quilts and the people who love them! Help us save the stories in the stitches by bringing your precious family heirlooms (or modern creations) to Documentation Day at the WMQFA’s farmstead. For just $5, we will record the history of the quilt, create a detailed description, take a digital image, and save this information in our archives.

We will include your quilt in an online database, the Quilt Index (www.quiltindex.org), where it can be accessed and studied for years to come, at no charge. Our trained volunteers can tell you when and how your antique quilt was made, and give suggestions on proper care and storage.

Attention rug owners: Rug experts will be documenting old and new rugs, made in the traditional rug hooking style, using cut fabric strips. A record of your rug will be stored in the WMQFA library. The fee is $5 for each rug documented.
