2015 was our 3rd and most successful year for the Arizona Quilt Documentation Project. 580 quilts were documented, east to west and north to south in Arizona. Arizona is one of the largest documentation project on the Quilt Index, total to date 1900 quilts. We have so many great volunteers that make this happen. Many, many hours go into planning, educating, documenting, recording, photographing, inputting, and record keeping. If you have visited our page (http://www.quiltindex.org/contributor.php?kid=67-EE-0 ) on the Quilt Index lately you’ll see all the new listings for our Arizona Museums. What fun it has been to document the quilts found in the museums. Some very special quilts are now on the Quilt Index.
Most Arizona quilters do not have to wait to have their quilts documented. They can document their own quilts and send them directly to our Arizona coordinator. One local quilters has documented over 40 quilts she has made. Get the forms, fill them out, take a photo, and send them to Lynn Miller at lynnquilt@gmail.com. Forms are available at:
Arizona Quilt Documentation Project BlogSpot
Arizona Quilt Documentation Project Yahoo Group page under files, https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/azquiltdoc/files
Facebook page Arizona Quilt Documentation Project. Facebook is also a great place to keep up with quilt documentation around Arizona.
The forms can also be sent by email or USPS by contacting Lynn Miller, lynnquilt@gmail.com
We are looking forward to 2016 with the continuing of the groups around the state, the startup of several new groups and more documenting at museums around the state. If you would like to become more involve please contact us at
