The Geneva Historical Society gave us a big welcome on August 7
 

Quilters trained...quilts documented!

Geneva Historical Society and SSQA held the first training date of the groups who received grants for hosting a public Quilt Discovery Day. Three of the groups had members attending to learn how to set up the stations, fill in the forms, and conduct an entire event.

No time was wasted on just going through motions. Eighteen quilts were actually documented during the training (visit the Gallery to see pictures of the attendees in action).

This practice will continue as the other groups have training days leading up to their public events. SSQA members are invited to attend trainings so they can bring this valuable program to their guilds, too. Events will be held in Jacksonville and Vero Beach, as of this time. We will be adding more locations and dates.
