AQSG
Endowment
Grant
The American Quilt Study Group establishes and promotes the highest standards for interdisciplinary quilt-related studies, providing opportunities for study, research, and the publication of works that advance the knowledge of quilts and related subjects.
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 2019
The American Quilt Study Group Board of Directors and the International Quilt Museum are excited to partner in welcoming you to Seminar 2019! Join us Thursday evening at the Embassy Suites hotel for a welcome reception as we begin the celebration of AQSG’s 40th year. Thursday and Friday tours will give ample opportunity to explore the IQM exhibits, learn about research possibilities among their collections, and experience what’s new with the University of Nebraska Special Collections where much of AQSG’s research library collection is housed. The Stuhr Museum of the Prairie Pioneer in Grand Island, Nebraska will present a look at a smaller, well-run regional museum and their quilt collection.
In addition to presentations by this year’s Uncoverings authors, Terry Terrell, Linda Welters, Margaret Ordonez and Katha Kievit, we’ll hear from special speakers, UN-L Professor Claire Nicholas, Jean Wakely, and Keynote Speaker Marin Hanson! There will be a great line-up of study centers to choose from and enjoy, along with panel presentations, a poster session, research mentoring and the research workshop. There will be plenty of opportunity for browsing the book sale, exploring treasures in the vendor area, and hunting your next treasure in the silent and live auctions.
The generous volunteer partnering of Friends of IQM and the Lincoln Modern Quilt Guild with AQSG Board members guarantee an extraordinary Seminar experience in Lincoln, Nebraska. Welcome and Enjoy!
