I bought the book and have been drooling over the pictures of the quilts. It will be so nice to see some of them in person.Sujata Shahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08342637667662268215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36789084.post-59425691685047104872012-06-06T20:15:27.116-07:002012-06-06T20:15:27.116-07:00Thanks for digging up this resource for us.

I'm not inclined to dismantle used clothing but I sure do find this type of quilt inspiring. :- )Magpie Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09930036522719103192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36789084.post-55167083881251755332012-06-06T16:01:49.982-07:002012-06-06T16:01:49.982-07:00Now that is one busy quilt!Now that is one busy quilt!Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07760744006915967397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36789084.post-27970801784687441652012-06-06T11:41:57.753-07:002012-06-06T11:41:57.753-07:00Oh!

I was lucky enough to see 2 different Gee's Bend exhibits, which were so inspirational. This looks to be just as good.

I have been very fortunate to not only see a lot of Gee's Bend quilts but meet most of the quilters..original and newer ones who are now making quilts, as well. I have been able to hear their story at a wonderful presentation at the Sisters (Oregon) Outdoor Quilt show and to hear them sing both at a picnic/quilt showing with them and Gwen Marston and Freddy Moran, and to hear them sing as they autographed my (I mean their!) book. I loved them and it was an amazingly deep experienced that I have blogged about quite a bit since 2009. The links to those posts are using the label from below for blog posts and clicking on Gees Bend/African American quilters:<br />http://www.with-heart-and-hands.com/search/label/Gees%20Bend%2FAfrican%20American%20Quilters<br /><br />They are so fabulous and these quilts/quilters look to be just as awesome!Michele Bilyeuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15979296861999606692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36789084.post-62512023469690145952012-06-06T09:37:54.661-07:002012-06-06T09:37:54.661-07:00I got to go see the Gees Bend Traveling Quilt show...I got to go see the Gees Bend Traveling Quilt show while in St Louis 2 years ago (about a 2 hour trip for me)......VERRY cool.
