Do you know someone who has a quilt with an Alberta connection?
Have you had one of your own quilts documented?
At Quilt Discovery Days, AB QSS members and others volunteer to document quilts. A Quilt Documentation includes
registration, an oral history from the quilt owner or maker, an extensive physical examination of the quilt and a
photograph. The information and photo are provided to the quilt owner and will be included in The Quilt Index.

We are always looking for volunteers to assist during a quilt Documentation Day and no experience is necessary!
