My film debut..........


Wanda S. Hanson presents her quilts at Ciel Gallery from Zach Burkhart on Vimeo.

This is the video my grandson filmed and composed for me from my show in North Carolina in June.  He is very talented and does freelance filmmaking.

  8. That was so much fun to watch. I think you are a natural in front of a camera. It probably comes from your years of teaching quilters.
    Are there any outtakes? That might be fun to see too.

  15. Love to hear you talk about your beautiful quilts. Zach did a great job. I visited his blog earlier this summer. Very talented your man.
    Your show in NC was great. Seeing your art, meeting you and your daughter, seeing her art and taking your color class was awesome.
    Thank you for sharing.

  23. I so enjoyed your video and all of your quilts, make a person feel happy, they are so beautiful.

    How do you amass your fabrics, how much yardage do you buy at once of a color? I also love Kaffe Fassett fabrics, he is a true artist, just like yourself.

  37. What I liked about the video is that you are you... not affected at all with that camera stuck in front of you. As for your grandson, I went to his website, watched and downloaded the piece "Southern Rain" It is amazing! Talent abounds!

  40. Wanda, this wonderful video is just a wonderful gift to your followers and affords us a unique insight into your techniques and thought processes. I think your talented grandson should send a copy of his video to Kaffe......he would surely be appreciate how well you incorporate his fabrics and style into many of your pieces. I'm would recognize a kindred spirit for sure!

  42. So my husband pulled up a chair and watched every second of your "film debut". He said, to tell you, that he was really impressed with your work and Zach's filming.

    It was such a treat to see this film for us that wanted to go to your show in June, and could not.

  48. It was a pleasure to hear you describe your beautiful wall hangings. I feel as though I know you personally now. The showing in Ciel Gallery was stunning. (I also visited your grandson's web-site--and emailed the link to the Southern Rain Storm to my daughter who has lived in NYC for 12 years--she missed thunder terribly!)
