Blue Quilt from Gee's Bend, Alabama

Item Number: 7004
Time Left: CLOSED

Description
The quilters of Gee's Bend, Alabama, have developed their own patterns, and the design of each quilt reflects the vision of a singular artist. This "Housetop" quilt design (similar to the Log Cabin pattern) was created by Rita Mae Pettway from an array of lovely hand-dyed blue cotton pieces. It was then painstakingly quilted by our very own Vicky Curtiss, who put in 15 hours of labor! At 51 x 62 inches, it's a great size for a wall hanging or a child's nap.
This is a Live Event Item.
