Gee’s Bend’s quilters preserve the past and pave the way for future generations.
There’s a rhythm in the movement of the needle and a cadence in the flow of conversation, punctuated by the click of a thimble, moments of laughter, and the soundless harmony of souls joined by shared experience. The celebrated community of Gee’s Bend in Alabama, recognized internationally, comprises intricately designed quilts created by women who learned their craft from their mothers and grandmothers.
