PUBLICATIONS WORKSHOP

Blanket Statements and Uncoverings 

March 26, 2023 | 7:00pm EST

REGISTER HERE!

 

Join us and learn how you can write for Blanket Statements, the quarterly newsletter published by AQSG.  Many AQSG members who want to share their research use Blanket Statements to present their findings to other members.  Each issue has at least one research article, AQSG news, research notes and queries, quilt world news, and exhibit information.

 

Do you have an idea for a research project but wonder how AQSG’s paper publication process works? Join us for a Zoom discussion of how you can submit a paper for Uncoverings, the annual research journal published by AQSG. Each volume typically includes four to six full-length research papers, which are published before the annual seminar. Authors present a shortened form of their paper at the seminar.

friday night hangout!

Friday, April 21 |6:00pm - 9:00pm CST

Registration coming soon!

Friday Night Hangout is a virtual event open to all AQSG members. It's an informal "hangout" where members can share their quilts, textiles, art, and ideas. Each Hangout has a theme, and attendees are encouraged to share. 

April's Friday Night Hangout is all about Mysteries!! What mysteries have you had in your quilt research journey that were fascinating, or still plague you? Bring your dead ends, your triumphs, your awesome facts, or even your own mystery quilts and share! If you aren't comfortable with sharing through zoom, you can send pictures of your quilt(s) to Mea Clift- meapet@gmail.com to share for you while we hang out and share our awesome pieces and learn from one another.  No Mysteries? Just bring a new acquisition you'd like to share, new things you're studying, or just hangout with all of us. All AQSG members are welcome!


Come hang out with us!
