Atenti

Andrea and Gianina, the mother-daughter design team of Atenti, have created an irresistible collection of bags and accessories, all lovingly handmade in the United States for over 30 years.

Atenti's aesthetic is greatly influenced by the vibrancy and spirit of Buenos Aires, Andrea's hometown. Fresh silhouettes, daring blends of fabrics, and handmade embellishments harmonize to evoke each season's design moments.

Aurifil threads

Aurifil is a family-owned company based in Milan, specializing in producing 100% Cotton threads from the Mako region of Egypt.

Aurifil thread's versatility and strength, and the fact that it produces virtually no lint, make it a favorite with quilters, sewists, embroiderers, and textile artists. The diverse and expensive color collections make great gifts.

Modern Amercian Vintage

Inspired by childhood memories of his grandfather's wood shop, Chris Hanson set out to give his son the same wonderful experiences.

Chris had no idea what he would make or how to fund the hobby until he made a replacement point tuner for his mother. The maple and spalted koa turner inspired him to make substantial and beautiful tools for quilters and artists.

Calling all writers, artists, makers, researchers and scholars!

The Quilt Alliance is seeking proposals for the 2024 Ardis James QSOS Scholars program, which funds educational and creative work that makes use of its archive of more than 1,200 recorded oral histories with quilt makers.

The program is open to researchers, artists, students, historians, folklorists, and any other quilt enthusiasts who will use the interviews in the QSOS (Quilters’ Save Our Stories) oral history project archive to inform new work. This may include essays, audio pieces, exhibitions, textile art, multimedia presentations, interactive content, creative writing, and more.

The Quilt Alliance will select two scholars for the 2024 program. Scholars will be expected to produce a piece to be presented on the Quilt Alliance website, and to share their work in an online Textile Talk presentation in 2024. Each scholar will receive a $1,000 honorarium.
