The Quilts of Gee's Bend
The Quilts of Gee's Bend | John Beardsley, Museum of Fine Arts, Houston
1 post
Relates the lives of the women of Gee's Bend, Alabama, who for more than 150 years have made quilts reflecting their history and daily lives. Having worked in isolation for generations and continuing to inhabit the remote plantation land their parents once slaved, they have received unexpected attention from the artistic world.

This quilt is not from Gee‘s Bend, which is famous for quilting; it‘s from a quilter with Azalea City Quilters Guild whose work is on display in our library. This one‘s my favorite. I walked 1.04 miles on a deliberate exercise walk and another 1.20 miles of incidental walking. 😊 #bookfitnesschallenge #bfcr2 #goteam @wanderinglynn @Emilymdxn @cewilf @cobwebmoth @Megabooks @RachelO @TheEllieMo @Trashcanman
