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 |
Is it playing on tv now or is it just a DVD that you can buy?
|
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".
|
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.

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
|
I watched it a couple of years ago when it was on in my area but couldn't figure out the erratic broadcast schedule so I kept missing it. My DH got me the DVDs for my birthday that year (he really is a keeper). I, too, have watched it several times and always see something new.
