Register today for FREE and get tickets to watch when it airs this Thursday, June 15, 2023, at 6 PM EDT.
From the American Folk Art Museum, "Featuring 35 quilts and related works of art, What That Quilt Knows About Me will explore the deeply personal and emotional power associated with the experience of making and living with quilts. The exhibition’s title conveys the idea that quilts have the capacity for “knowing” or containing information about the human experience. Reflecting on this sentiment, the exhibition presents quilts as collections of intimate stories."
