Form Meets Function: Marfa Stance x the Quilters of Gees Bend - the thread Gee Bend Quilts, Marfa Stance, Gees Bend, Black Joy, Gees Bend Quilts, African American Quilts, American Quilt, Sustainable Fashion Brands, Color Pallets

The quilters of Gee’s Bend have achieved worldwide recognition for transforming the act of quilting into an artform, one which they have passed from generation to generation over the past 200 years. Their work is now held in museums worldwide, including the Metropolitan Museum and the Smithsonian. But it is only in recent years, thanks...

This week I have been to see the "We Will Walk" exhibition at Turner Contemporary in Margate. A long way to go from the north east of England but worth it to see the quilts which haven't been here before and probably will not come again. Loved the way Polly Bennett ( 1922 - 2002) described hers as "get togethers". I am going to start using that phrase for my collages. For those of you who can't get there here are pictures of some of the quilts. The rest of the exhibits are also deeply moving…
