Why Quilts Matter: 02: Bringing History Alive Trailer (2011)

26 August 2011 28 mins

We all wonder how people really thought, dressed, traveled, and behaved in generations past, and we need only to look to quilts to find out. Since quilts were made—not by artisans—but by ordinary women whose lives they closely reflect, they are fonts of information about the people and periods they represent. In this episode we will explore the quilt’s unique ability to preserve, not only our own family histories, but the history of America beyond the reach of memory. Join host Shelly Zegart as she analyzes quilts from two centuries up ago to the present, extracting information about everything from the state of transportation to the prevalence of smoking in their makers’ world.
