Does a quilt become art when you take it from the bed and put it up on the wall? Is quilting not perceived as art because it is seen as women’s work. And is it fair that women should be paid 10% of what men get paid for art? Join Jenny Haynes, Lucy Engels, Linda Seward, and host Faye Hatcher as they talk through these questions. And more.

This is what viewers have to say about the video:
‘I suppose an art quilt is certainly art. It requires a beautiful talent. And a practical quilt to throw on the ground might not be art. If I painted a picture, it would have the same level of talent as my quilts display. Very simple and ordinary because I
don’t have the talent to do either very well. Nevertheless, I do quilts out of my own imagination and never do a premade kit. And I’d rather be my own designer even if Im not skilled enough to do’ – Patty
‘Love this discussion. You can’t have this discussion without mentioning men getting paid more….’ – Anne
