Thanks to a special collaboration between WMQFA and the Nancy M. Bruce Center for Design and Material Culture (School of Human Ecology, UW-Madison), get your quilt treasures documented in Madison.

Please select one time slot per quilt. Thanks to a grant, the documentation is free.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.
