Quilt Index
The Quilt Index is an open access, digital repository of thousands of images, stories and information about quilts and their makers drawn from hundreds of public and private collections around the world. The Quilt Index is a digital humanities research and education project of the Matrix: The Center for Digital Humanities & Social Sciences at Michigan State University.
You can find the San Francisco Quilt Guild page on the Quilt Index here.
Our Guild’s Progress in the Quilt Index Project – 2026
The Quilt Index Coordinator has created a guild page under the California Heritage Quilt Project for the San Francisco Quilters Guild as a Collection. If you are ready to Submit a Quilt with your artist statement, there are 2 versions of the form. Images need to jpg and documents in pdf format.
1. You need a photo of yourself (head to chest aka headshot) saved as jpg. To be sent by attachment with your submission email
2. Write your quiltmaker bio (about 2-3 paragraphs. When you joined SFQG, SFQG Highlight, why you like quilting. May be about your career. I use google doc or Word to compose. If you have a final version, save the File as a pdf.
3. Need a full front photo and a closeup. (Crop to clean the image & save). Photo may be cellphone or other. The cellphone will save it as a jpg already. I can help you edit the image on your cellphone.To be sent by attachment with your submission email
4. You’ll need that quilt’s measurements, colors, fabric, borders, binding and whether machine pieced and or handquilted to fill out the submission form. Follow the questions.
5. You may skip questions you don’t want posted online. For instance, your birthdate, enter only birth year rather than your full date of birth.
5. The Quilt Index Coordinator will assign you an ID code for your other quilts.
