About the Author

The American Quilt Study Group (AQSG) is a dedicated nonprofit organization founded in 1975 to preserve and promote the art, history, and culture of quiltmaking in America. Comprising passionate scholars, collectors, quilters, and enthusiasts, the Group fosters research, education, and appreciation through annual conferences, publications, and collaborative projects that illuminate the stories woven into quilts across centuries. With a focus on documenting regional styles, techniques, and social contexts, AQSG serves as a vital resource for understanding quilts as reflections of American life, from pioneer migrations to modern revivals. Through its rigorous studies and community outreach, the Group inspires a new generation to value this timeless craft.
