and plan to attend AQSG’s 31st Annual Seminar in Bloomington, MN! The Minnesota Quilt Project has put together a weekend packed with presentations, quilt exhibitions, tours, and study centers. We will be celebrating AQSG's 30th Anniversary!
$30 for 30 Years
AQSG was founded by a group who believed that quilts hold unique stories and essential history that has long been overlooked, or in some cases lost altogether. They created an organization that encourages a sound academic approach to quilt research and history, and that provides opportunities for quilt historians and others to share their discoveries.

Through hard work and tenacity, AQSG has become the leader in quilt scholarship; Uncoverings is now the pre-eminent journal of quilt studies. At our annual Seminar, quilt lovers of all types engage in networking, teaching and learning, exploring and sharing the stories of our past told in fabric and thread.
AQSG is now celebrating its thirtieth anniversary! We invite you to join in the celebration by making a special donation of $30 for 30 years.
30's for 30 Quilt Block Challenge
The American Quilt Study Group (AQSG) is turning 30! We invite you to join the celebration by participating in a nationwide block challenge called “30's for 30”. For every 30 blocks received, one person’s name will be drawn to win those blocks. To learn more about the 30's for 30 challenge click here. Happy quilting!
