ScholarshipandHistory
AQSG stands as one of the oldest and largest member organizations dedicated to quilt related studies in the world.
American Quilt Study Group is unique in our offerings. In addition to nurturing and sharing research, one of the biggest dividends of membership is the opportunity to meet other members, in person or online.
There are multiple ways to support the American Quilt Study Group. You can research, encourage, listen, share, give, support! Each member of AQSG offers a different gift and these gifts and talents complete the circle. These are the people that make AQSG what we are.
Seminar 2018
The Maryland Seminar Committee welcomes you to Seminar 2018 and the greater Maryland/Washington/Virginia region! Our region offers a variety of interesting experiences, from learning about American history and government to seeing many of the most iconic sights in the U.S.
For quilters and quilt historians, we are best known for Baltimore album quilts, but our textile history is that and much more! Seminar 2018 will be sure to provide information and eye candy for those hungry to immerse themselves in the Baltimore album experience, with tours to see (and photograph!) album quilts and study centers that dive deeply into appreciating their beauty and complex quilt style.
We have a trio of quilt luminaries who will be speaking about our region’s rich textile history and culture beginning with keynote speaker Alden O’Brien from the DAR museum who will connect the personal with the public in the art of quilting. Mimi Dietrich, Quilters Hall of Fame inductee, will entertain over lunch on Saturday with a humorous look at her years of teaching, designing, publishing and helping to launch the revival of interest in Baltimore album quilts. Capping off this triumvirate of quilt dignitaries will be Amelia Peck from the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Amelia will use the Gee’s Bend quilts to discuss quilts versus abstract art on Sunday.
