It’s hard to believe that it’s mid-November. The leaves are a memory (unless you’re still raking them!), the days are getting shorter, and the holiday season will soon be upon us.<\/p>\n

As the season of giving begins, we’d like to offer you<\/em><\/strong> a gift that will make the documentary Why Quilts Matter: History, Art & Politics<\/em> <\/a>an even more attractive gift for your quilting and quilt-loving friends, or as a year-end donation to your guild or public library. Beginning today, November 12, and continuing through December 31, we’re offering free shipping<\/strong> on the Why Quilts Matter: History, Art & Politics<\/em> two-DVD set, the newly published Why Quilts Matter: History, Art & Politics Discussion Guide<\/em>, and the DVD\/Guide package.\u00a0With this offer on the table, there\u2019s never been a better time to pick up “a gift” for yourself as well.<\/p>\n

\"Why<\/a><\/p>\n

This offer applies to shipments\u00a0within\u00a0the U.S. and to Canada, and is available only on orders placed through the Why Quilts Matter: History, Art & Politics<\/em>\u00a0website<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0(Note: <\/strong>To ensure delivery in the U.S. in time for Christmas Day, your order must be received by December 15.)<\/p>\n

There’s an added bonus to every DVD, Guide, and DVD\/Guide package purchased throughout this holiday season…and always.\u00a0 Profits go to The Kentucky Quilt Project, Inc., <\/a>creator of the series and guide, to further exciting new quilt-related study and projects.<\/p>\n
