Thread: PBS series "Why Quilts Matter"

In my area PBS is running "Why Quilts Matter" It is a fascinating series. Anybody else watching?
This is a documentary done by The Kentucky Quilt Project, Inc. They have a website
www.WhyQuiltsMatter.org

In my area (Kentuckiana) it is running on TV.

We don't have it listed on our PBS down here near the Gulf. I'll keep an eye on it. They took Eleanor Burns show off and now have "Stitch 2 Fit".

Love Eleanor Burns, she's back on in our area. Even though all of the shows are re-re-reruns, I don't care, I could watch her for hours. Fit 2 Stitch is on as well, but I find that show very tedious at best. The same with Sew It All..... boring!!!!!

This past winter, PBS on west coast ran the series for 5 or 6 weeks. I loved the show as it explained the history of quilts and the various design types. I enjoyed the segment of Gee's Bend quilts.

If it ever comes back on in So. CA would you please post so rest of us can watch it. I missed it and thats my favorite station. We have several PBS stations down here so need to know which one.

Thanks for the heads up, it's not on ours right now but I will keep my eye out for it!

I have the video and have watched it several times - always appreciating it more each time. It was made in 2008, but to my knowledge, it has never been broadcast in Philly. I loved the different points of view from the many artists, history professors, collectors, and museum curators. I highly recommend it.

Well, let's all contact our local bps stations and request an airing of this.....can't hurt to try
