Welcome!
This site is
dedicated to party quilts and their stories, told by the brave men and women
who surrendered their fabric masterpieces to complete strangers, along with
uncapped permanent pens.
My two-part series on the
topic of Party Quilts appears in the December 2003 and January 2004 issue of
Quilters Newsletter Magazine (
http://www.quiltersnewsletter.com )
but I have much more show and tell than they could fit. Some of it
is here.
I am writing a book
proposal on this topic, and would love to see your party quilt, and hear
your story, for possible inclusion. Email me at
cathy.perlmutter@gmail.com . I am primarily interested in quilts that were signed
and/or decorated at a social gathering. But for a different
project, I am also interested in hearing Post Office quilt stories (With
these, pieces are mailed or distributed to separate individuals, who sign or
decorate them and return them to the quiltmaker for assembly). Advice on
Post Office quilts is at my other site,
http://judaiquilt.com/Groupprojects.html.
