Publish Your Quilts

How will historians know you quilted 50 or 100 years from now? Do you have a dozen quilts or a series of art pieces you'd like to show? Is there quilt research you’d like in a book format? Are you a textile artist looking to showcase your work internationally? Does your quilt guild want to publish a catalog of their upcoming community exhibit? Learn to publish your quilts or artwork, share your artist motivations, and more! YES – YOU CAN create and publish your own quilt or art catalog!

AAQC of Durham, NC self-publishes

The African American Quilt Circle of Durham, North Carolina self-published an 84-page full-color catalog in 2008. ISBN: 978-0-615-17337-5. Each guild's 34 members had a two-page spread to feature at least one of their quilts, include a personal statement and self-portrait. You can read an interview about how the AAQC guild created their book by clicking here.

There was a limited number of books published. It is my understanding the book is $29.95 + US shipping and handling $6.75. You can order the book from the African American Quilt Circle, 4706 High Meadow Road, Durham, NC 27712.
