Welcome! We are multi-faceted. We began as a research podcast by Dr. Townsend Gard at Tulane University Law School.
We've grown into a community about quilting, crafting, entrepreneurship and intellectual property.

Amy Milne - Quilt Alliance
Interviewed by Elizabeth Townsend Gard
Date January 2018
Amy Milne is the Executive Director of Quilt Alliance. We met at Quilt Festival in Houston, and I'm thrilled that she is willing to be interviewed.
Quilt Alliance is committed to capturing the oral history stories of quilts and quilters with the motto: Document, Preserve, Share. Obviously, I am very excited to chat with Amy.
They also had the coolest game at Quilt Festival.. You had to identify the block and if you got it (mine was pinwheel), you got to spin the roulette wheel, and then you got a prize. I got a charm pack. It was awesome!
