Journey with the Simply Quilts camera crew to Los Angeles to visit an exhibit by Bosnian refugees. Textile art has helped these women start new lives through the power of art. At the Museum of Tolerance, the textile art display was created to help war exiled Bosnians put their craftsmanship to work. Many of the designs are donated by artists, such as Robert Harding and William Wegman, and then produced by the weavers.
