The Quilts of Gee's Bend

(2) 4-6 Rubin provides a warm and fascinating look at both the contemporary and historical women of Gee's Bend, Alabama, a community settled by freed slaves in about 1845. The women of Gee's Bend were always quilters and passed their skill down to their children. First-person interviews with the women provide an intimate look at their art and community. Lush photographs accompany the text; especially beautiful are the many pictures of quilts. Bib., ind.
