The Legacy Quilt Project

CTMS Banner

Have you ever noticed the quilted banners hanging in the California Traditional Music Society Center for Folk Music? Did you know that they are displayed all over the Festival? What would it take for you to get something like that for yourself or your company?

Funny you should ask....

Introducing the Legacy Quilt Project:
A gift across generations.

The Legacy Project is an opportunity for you to create a double legacy. Your contribution to CTMS will fund the creation of an on-going craft exhibition and simultaneously insure that CTMS can continue to bring folk music and traditions to this generation and those to come.

Here's how it works...

The amount of your contribution determines how large a panel you will have in the Quilt. There are two Contribution Levels to choose from:Legacy Quilt at the 2002 Solstice Festival

Large panel
This panel is 3'x3' and has a limited availability. All the large panels will be featured in the central core section of the quilt display. Large panels are made for you or your organization by CTMS and can be tailored to your design. Minimum contribution: $1000.00
Small panel
This panel is 2'x2' and will be used to form the "petals" of the quilt display.
$ 250.00 minimum contribution if CTMS volunteers design or make your panel.
$ 100.00 minimum contribution if you, the contributor, design and make your panel.

Remember, your contribution creates a double legacy:

  1. Your panel, joined with others, will make a continually growing quilt display that will be an integral part of future CTMS festivals, and
  2. Your dollars will contribute toward an endowment fund to insure the CTMS mission and goals continue for future generations.

Now you can have an artistic, visible acknowledgment of your support to CTMS, one you can share with family, friends and business associates.

Deadlines for being part of this year's quilt display are:

  • March 1 if you wish CTMS volunteers to make your panel.
  • May 1 to send in your own panel.

Please contact CTMS at (818) 817-7756 or by e-mail at for details on making your own panel or for having one made for you. A wide latitude in panel content is allowed. We particularly appreciate those containing music, dance, storytelling and folk themes. CTMS reserves the right to exclude unsuitable panels.
