Why Quilts Matter

I don't know if I can wait! I may have to buy the DVD.

Why Quilts Matter: History, Art & Politics

This nine-part documentary series focuses on why quilts are bigger than you think, seen through the lenses of history, art, and politics. For the quilter, collector or even casual observer, each episode takes the viewer behind the scenes and into new territory, exploring the centrality of the quilt in American culture and revealing the unsuspected size, breadth and depth of the current quilt phenomenon.

Premiering this September on PBS stations, Why Quilts Matter: History, Art & Politics is also available for purchase at www.whyquiltsmatter.org.

  9. Check out the link for more info. Sometimes we have problems seeing our PBS station, due to ??? (sun spots or whatever) and sometimes the station chooses not to show certain programs!

    Thanks for the mention, Paula.
