    Our Mission

    Quilt Alliance is a nonprofit 501c3 organization established in 1993 with a mission to document, preserve, and share our American quilt heritage by collecting the rich stories that historic and contemporary quilts, and their makers, tell about our nation’s diverse peoples and their communities.

    In support of this mission, the Alliance brings together quilt makers and designers, the quilt industry, quilt scholars and teachers, and quilt collectors to further the following goals:

    • to promote the understanding of the quilt as an important American grassroots art form
    • to share stories and documentation about quilts with a broad public
    • to educate Americans about the importance of documenting quilts and quiltmakers so that their stories will not be lost

    After this wonderful presentation by the Quilt Alliance, please make plans to stay for our 2025 Luncheon to be held in the Conference Room.  

    • 10/21/2025
    • 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM
    • AB Tech Conference Center, 16 Fernihurst Conference Center, Asheville, NC 28803

    Learn the many connections between between history, battles, myths, art, technology, math and science all  stitched together between three layers.

    Paula’s “elevator speech” boils down to the title of a song in Roger and Hammerstein’s musical, Carousel, “I Cain’t Say No.”  Those words have led her to some fabulous quilt making experiences throughout her life.  Paula has been fortunate to be in the right place at the right time, which has lead to all sorts of fabulous quilting experiences.  (Or, she could not sit on her hands when volunteers were requested.)  She is a co-author of the book, The Quilts of Virginia – the Birth of America Through the Eye of A Needle, sponsored by the Virginia Consortium on Quilters; Past-President of the Board of Directors of the Virginia Quilt Museum; founder of Cabin Branch Quilters, Prince William County, VA; Teacher of the Year, The Professional Quilter Magazine; on Jinny Beyer’s teaching staff for 20 years; co-organizer of Along the Spice Route with Ann Reardon, a exhibit that toured the US for three years.  Paula is someone who is passionate about quilts, quilters, their stories, and the techniques for almost 50 years.
