CIAO TV "Hearts and Hands, 19th Century Women and their Quilts"

"In the 19th century, women made quilts: to cover their beds, to create artistic vision, and to express their political sentiments. This film pieces together the primary materials of women's lives - diaries, letters, photographs, and quilts - to tell a new story of 19th century lives.
This is a documentary that dramatically portrays a vital part of American history only now beginning to be told -- the role played by women and their textiles in that century's great movements and events including the Civil War, the abolition of slavery, westward expansion, and the suffrage and temperance movements."
