NEW AAQ WEBSITE

Asheville, NC is home to the Alliance for American Quilts.

This organization was formed 15 years ago to document, and preserve the history of quilts and their makers.  Settle down with a cup of coffee (no make that a pot) and explore their easy to navigate, updated informative and inspiration filled website. 

"Four Sided Journey" by Yvonne Porcella

To celebrate their anniversary, a generous group of 67 quilters have donated small quilts such as the one above which will be auctioned on ebay Oct. 30- Nov. 19, 2008.  The proceeds will benefit worthy AAQ projects.   Preview the quilts and consider bidding to show your support.
