Nevada Quilt Registry Project

While this project is still in the planning stages the following information is our

goal. For further information or questions email nvquiltreg@gmail.com.

The NQRP is an opportunity for you to contribute to public awareness of, and

respect for, quilts, quiltmakers and their importance to our culture. It is sponsored,

in part, by Truckee Meadows Quilters but additional sponsors are encouraged. You

can bring your quilts to be documented or help with the overall documentation

process.

The project plan is to conduct quilt documentation days throughout Nevada over

the next few years. Any quilt residing in Nevada, whether historic, vintage, or

contemporary is a candidate for this effort provided it has not been documented

previously anywhere else. Quilting/sewing skill embodied in the quilt is

inconsequential, i.e., anything goes.

The ultimate aim is for the NQRP to forward this documentation electronically to

the Quilt Index, a major data repository housed at Michigan State University (see

QuiltIndex.org). By adding our information to the Quilt Index worldwide

researchers, historians, and quilt aficionados will have access to a treasure trove of

data regarding quilts currently held in Nevada.
