Documentation Day at WMQFA

  • Wisconsin Museum of Quilts & Fiber Arts N50W5050 PORTLAND AVENUE Cedarburg United States (map)

Find out more about your quilted treasure by having our expert volunteers look at your quilt. Pre-registration strongly recommended. $20 per quilt.

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 Winter Quilt Show at Washington County Fair Park. 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. Please bring this along to the documentation.
