Taught by their mothers, grandmothers, and aunts, these women use scraps of old overalls, aprons, bleached cornmeal sacks - anything they can find. The mere scraps are then transformed into spectacular works of art, each one displaying a unique pattern with vibrant colors and complex geometric composition. Over the years, the women made quilts to keep their families warm and comfortable, never imagining that someday their work would hang on museum walls. Much to their surprise, many of the quilts were featured in an exhibition at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, in 2002, which then traveled to the Whitney Museum in New York City. Soon enough, the whole world became acquainted with the quilts and the amazing women who created them. In this look at the close-knit community of Gee's Bend, award-winning author Susan Goldman Rubin explores the history of an extraordinary group of women and their unique art. -- from dust jacket. 000808116 521__ $$a970L$$bLexile 000808116 650_0 $$aAfrican American quilts$$zAlabama$$zWilcox County$$vJuvenile literature. 000808116 650_0 $$aAfrican American quiltmakers$$zAlabama$$zWilcox County$$vJuvenile literature. 000808116 650_0 $$aQuilts$$zAlabama$$zWilcox County$$xHistory$$vJuvenile literature. 000808116 650_0 $$aAfrican American women$$zAlabama$$zWilcox County$$vJuvenile literature. 000808116 655_7 $$aPicture books.$$2lcgft 000808116 77608 $$iOnline version:$$aRubin, Susan Goldman.$$tQuilts of Gee's Bend.$$dNew York : Abrams Books for Young Readers, 2017$$z9781683350521$$w(DLC) 2016033225 000808116 85200 $$bcmc$$hNK9112$$i.R84$$i2017 000808116 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:808116$$pGLOBAL_SET 000808116 980__ $$aBIB 000808116 980__ $$aBOOK
