Why read it?
1 author picked Gee's Bend as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This huge volume was another reference book for me as I researched The Quilts of Geeās Bend.Ā The large reproductions of the quilts showed how the women with the same material used it in different ways.Ā Startling to see so many imaginative versions of a pattern called Housetop. Two quilts titled Flower Garden shown side by side are dazzling. And this book contains more photos of the quilters and provides information about their lives and struggles against poverty and racism. The art they produced despite their limited resources and hardships is truly an inspiration. A miracle!
From Susan's list on quilting created by African American women.
