Dear Central Oregon Quilt Guilds,
Please see below the download buttons regarding the Oregon Quilt Project Documentation day Scheduled on Friday, March 8th from 2:00 - 5:00 p.m. and Saturday, March 9th from 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. at the Stitchin' Post (311 W. Cascade Street, Sisters). We wanted to give your members a head start on scheduling appointments since they are limited. Please pass this along to your members.
What Kind of Quilts?
The quilt must be in Oregon when it is documented. It can be old or new, made elsewhere, or it may be going to another location, but it must be recorded within the boundaries of our state. Quilt tops that have not been quilted, “summer quilts” (with a backing but no quilt padding), tied quilts and quilted garments may also be documented.
The Quilt’s Story
A documentation consists of two parts: a history of the quilt and its maker, and a detailed physical examination of the quilt. Appointments will be scheduled to allow 30 minutes for each documentation. Each person may bring two (2) quilts for documentation. Documentation appointments are limited and will be scheduled on a first come first serve basis.
There is a $10.00 charge to document each item which includes a registration number with the Oregon Quilt Project Archives. (http://oregonquiltproject.org) If the owner agrees, the OQP will register the quilt with the Quilt Index at no charge. (http://www.quiltindex.org)
This project is sponsored by the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show, East of the Cascade Quilters, Three Sisters Historical Society and The Stitchin’ Post.
