The Leather Quilt Project
a history of leather pride, in the now

History
On November 3, 2005 a madcap idea of making a "Leather Tribal Quilt" somehow managed to get conceived and sort of bubbled out of the mind of Master Steve of Butchmanns. In its first conception it was to be used as a fundraiser for South Plains Leatherfest's International Master and slave travel fund and somehow get donated to the Leather Archives and Museum (you know, located in Chicago but serving the world). Wiser folk identified that 'fundraiser' and 'donating' and 'travel fund' might get all mixed up and they complained that it was too complicated an idea. One besieged soul suggested it was somehow a secret plot to generate funds for personal use – laughing –YIKES. Well, to put all doubts to bed, the idea matured a bit and blossomed into its current status; The Leather Tribe Quilt. It is now its own beast – a moveable part of leather pride.
The Present
The Leather Quilt is now in its growth process. Clubs, bars, groups, individuals, leather families, events, and leather stores are all invited to obtain a blank quilt panel from Leather Masters for $15.00+shipping. For the first 100 panels sold, Leather Masters will donate 30% of the $15.00 back to the Quilt Project to help with shipping and 70% will be donated to NCSF (the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom). After the first 100 panels, Leather Masters will donate the same split percentage to the Quilt Project & NCSF after costs of making the panel.
The quilt will be shown at leather events and will have its own travel fund and volunteer staff. Donations are gratefully accepted to keep it preserved and traveling.
