PBS in September! Fascinating lookat our courtier quilting history. A nine part documentary. You'll learn which U S citiesare competing to be known as Quilt city and see a quilt that sold for more than $250,000. Check local PBS station for airtimes. Go to womansday.com/quilts to see a clip and learn how you can win one of 20 copies of theseries

Do you have the name of the show? I tried looking it up on my PBS but I don't see anything that sounds like that. I would hate to miss it.

"Why Quilts Matter" and not all PBS channels are showing it!! You will have to check with your local one. I emailed my local channel and they aren't showing it until October and it will only be on 2 days even though it is a 9 part series. There is a website.
