The Quilters of Gee’s Bend

I would like to introduce you to the quilters of Gee’s Bend, Alabama, USA. The artisans of this small community have for more than six generations designed some of the most beautiful, unusual, and original rag-pieced quilts available today.

Sixty quilts by the Gee’s Bend quilters premiered at the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, Texas in 2002 and were recently on view at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York.The hamlet of Gee’s Bend is so isolated that outsiders have rarely visited it. However, the Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. did visit Gee’s Bend and spoke there on the eve of his march to Selma, Alabama in 1965.
