Okay quilters and quilt lovers, listen up. The Alliance for American Quilts needs volunteers to interview quiltmakers at the 2011 International Quilt Festival, Houston. From their press release:
This year at the International Quilt Festival in Houston, Texas (November 3-6), a team of volunteers led by the nonprofit Alliance for American Quilts will interview 64 Texas quiltmakers for the Quilters’ S.O.S. – Save Our Stories (Q.S.O.S.) oral history project.
Many volunteers are needed. Jobs include: interviewers, scribes, registration desk attendants, photographers, and data entry/backup assistants. This is a grassroots effort; professional experience is not required.
They will train you to do the interviewing or choose a different job. And look what you’ll get for your time. Read on.
All volunteers will receive free admission to the show on the days that they work. Each Team Q.S.O.S. volunteer will also receive a Q.S.O.S. lapel pin and t-shirt, and a goody bag of fabric and notion treats. We will offer special thank you gifts from sponsor Moda Fabrics/United Notions for those who conduct multiple interviews.
