Last fall I attended a quilt show that featured some of the quilts from Gee's Bend...they were very interesting to look at, and used whatever they had available.

They also had in the smae exhibit, prints of some quilts and a finshed quilt by them. Someone had taught a few of the Gee's Bend women how to make prints from the quilts. Fantastic seeing that process too. Would love to see the whole collection.Cyndi loves to stitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14293233664848705485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1566941118175210463.post-40142951537451963372010-04-01T03:22:25.750-04:002010-04-01T03:22:25.750-04:00I love how your Gee's Bend inspired quilt turn...I love how your Gee's Bend inspired quilt turned out!
