2013 Show Descriptions

Welcome to Paducah!
Hello everyone and welcome to Paducah, home of the
Quilt Channel. This year we proudly celebrate the 23rd Anniversary of the Quilt
Channel. It seems like only yesterday it was just an idea. Thanks to the AQS,
the encouragement of our viewers, and the support of our generous sponsors,
we’ve been able to provide quilt related programming to our visitors and area
residents for 23 years.
We’ve seen so many changes in the quilting industry since we first went on the
air. We’ve also met thousands of wonderful quiltmakers and visitors. Every year
we are amazed at the creativity and inspiration displayed at the AQS quilt show.
Again this year we are proud to present 5 days of high quality, quilt related
programming to the visitors of the American Quilter’s Society Quilt Show and Contest.
If you have an interest in quilting, you’ll love watching the Quilt Channel. Within
the pages of this guide you will find descriptions of the programs we are
offering, and the times they are available for viewing.
You may also keep up with us through our website www. Thequiltchannel.com.
There you will find useful information and links to the wonderful businesses
who make the Quilt Channel possible. Enjoy your stay in Paducah and we look
forward to seeing you back, year after year.

Why Quilts Matter: History, Art & Politics This nine-part documentary series hosted by Shelly Zegert takes a fresh look at quilts and spreads
the word about their unique position at the center of a startlingly broad grid of topics, ranging from
women’s studies to the contemporary art market.
Episode 1: Quilts 101 – Antique and Contemporary Quilts
What is a quilt? This episode introduces the audience to the brave new world of the American
quilt, where that question has many different answers.
Episode 2: Quilts Bring History Alive
Explore the quilt’s unique ability to preserve, not only our own family histories, but the history
of America beyond the reach of memory.
Episode 4: What is Art?
A quilt is the perfect test case for a dozen theories about what makes art, well…art.
Episode 5: Gee’s Bend: “The Most Famous Quilts in America?”
Join us as we trace the journey of the quilts of Gees Bend from the clotheslines of the South
to the exhibition walls of the country’s greatest museums.
Episode 6: How Quilts have been Viewed and Collected
Nearly a century after quilts were first collected and exhibited, they’ve come a long way, baby.
Watch as we trace their slow incursion into museum collections, then to gallery walls.
Episode 7: Empowering Women One Quilt at a Time
You can look long and hard and you won’t find an object more central to the history of women
than the quilt. Explore the quilt’s historical & current roles as an avenue of personal expression,
a sly medium of social and political opinion, and a building block of financial security.
