"Quilt Fever" by Olivia Loomis Merion

Enjoy Olivia Loomis Merion’s South by Southwest selected short documentary Quilt Fever. It's all about quilting and the stories of the individuals who participate in the AQS QuiltWeek Paducah show. Parts of the film will make you laugh, parts will make you weep, and keep your eyes peeled for two familiar faces...

I loved this video, and it moved me to tears as I pondered on all the things I love about quilting. Miss being able to attend quilt shows this year and look forward to the future when we will be able to be in the midst of fellow quilters again.

I love this video! I have gone to the Paducah show almost every year since 1988. I’ve been to other AQS shows, but they just aren’t the same as Paducah.

I have been awake since 3.00am, fed up with not being able to get back to sleep I made a coffee and opened my email to this video. Wow, I am moved to tears, to catch glimpses of all the beautiful work; it is so obvious that all these quilts come from the heart of their makers. What a privilege to use God-given talent to bring such beauty into the world. Thank you.

What a great film. Brought back wonderful memories of my trip to the show in Paducah. I met Eleanor Burns and stood in line for over an hour to have her autograph a book. It was worth it. She is a classy lady. Everything they said about quilters is true. My besties are fellow quilters.

Very moving. As a new quilter I have been amazed by the people I have met and the friendships I have made. Quilters are indeed a unique breed of individuals.

My moms first quilt was accepted in one of the earliest shows. She was so proud. Made me want to be a quilted too
