Quilting in Gee's Bend | This is Alabama

What started as a necessity for warmth and comfort is now regarded as art in museums around the world. The Gee's Bend Quilters Collective in Boykin, AL has given its members recognition as creative folk artists and also provided many with a source of income. Mary Ann and China Pettway travel across the US teaching workshops to students with a desire to learn their style of quilt making. Produced by: Joshua J.
