Cancelled: Documentation Day

Due to Covid-19, the museum has cancelled the November Documentation Day. We will be directly contacting anyone with an appointment to rescheduled during our March Documentation Day. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Find out more about your quilted treasure by having our expert volunteers look at your quilt. Pre-registration strongly recommended. $10 per quilt. Please note, appointments are now FULL.

To register, please email Documentation@wiquiltmuseum.com

Rug Documentation is also requesting you make an appointment. Please email joycek3@juno.com. The rug documentation fee is $5 per item.

Calling all quilts (and hooked rugs) 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. 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, 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.

During the documentation event, our volunteers will help you fill out a detailed form (Quilt-Documentation). You may already have some information, and can bring this along to the documentation.
