In this Pottery Barn video, watch Stacy Hollander, Sr. Curator of American Folk Art Museum; discuss the folk art associated with quilts. Quilts are a unique form of American folk art. Quilts during the 18th and 19th centuries were utilitarian but were also created and handed down the generations with love and care.

Stacy says that the "Women Only" exhibition shows quilts made by women. She discusses the importance of quilts as an art form and adds that star quilts are really difficult to make and need a lot of intricate work. Stacy also informs that the museum has partnered with Pottery Barn to bring this American folk art to the public.
