A place to discuss African American Quilt History
Why are we here?
Our purpose is to inspire understanding of the social, cultural, and artistic significance of quilts, with an emphasis on African American quilts. Our goal is to document, research, and preserve African American quilt history through data collection and collaboration with local, state, and national societies and museums.
If you live in Washington State and have an African American family quilt, in ANY CONDITION, and would like to be considered for inclusion in this statewide documentation project, please contact A'donna Richardson at .

I was born and raised in Tacoma, WA, and became a quilter after retiring. Within a few years my interests expanded to the study of quilts their ties to America's social and cultural history.
