Quilt Symposium of Alabama
The Quilt Symposium of Alabama, Inc. was formed in 2001 to provide programming, information, and training through an annual symposium, which encourages and strengthens the art of quilting. The primary purpose of the Quilt Symposium of Alabama Board of Directors is to oversee the annual statewide symposium to be held in the spring/summer. The location of the annual symposium rotates throughout the state, depending on where the host guild chooses their site. Hosting guilds apply to the board to hold the symposium for the year they would like to host. The hosting guild plans and is responsible for the symposium for that year, but may ask the Symposium board for help in any area. The Nimble Thimbles guild of Cullman held the first symposium at Wallace State in 2002 – what brave souls they were! For further information on QSAI contact Paulette Burgett, the current president.
