The British Quilt Study Group is the dedicated organisation within the British Isles committed to establishing and maintaining high standards for all quilt-related research.
The British Quilt Study Group was formed in 1998 with the following aims:
- to foster an interest in both historical and contemporary aspects of British patchwork, quilting and appliqué through study and research
- to promote the development of research skills through training, workshops, bursaries and mentoring schemes, and to provide the means for publication of research
- to provide a forum for the exchange of information and ideas through seminars and study days
- to foster links with quilt study groups and related academic organisations in other countries.
The group is a non-profit research organisation and is part of The Quilters’ Guild of The British Isles. Members are from both the British Isles and overseas and include researchers, quilt lovers, collectors of contemporary and historic quilts, museum curators and textile dealers. All members are able to participate in the study group through its newsletter, publications, seminars, visits and study days.
