The Quilts of Gee's Bend
Have you heard of Gee's Bend? Gee's Bend is a town in central Alabama where quilting must run in the water. Women there have been producing distinctive quilts for over six generations. The quilts are a mix of sophisticated color mastery and imaginitive yet simple geometric foundations which, since the town's "discovery" by the outside world, have been on display in major art museums around the country, including the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City.
Windham Fabrics has now partnered with the Gee's Bend Quilter's Collective and brought their fantastic patterns and fabrics to the greater quilting community. We here at Sew Inspired fell in love with Gee's Bend and have kits and fabric available for you. The kits have fabric for the complete quilt top and binding and use the same hand dyed fabric that is available on the bolt. We carry all four available kits and over 15 bolts of fabric so you can create your own Gee's Bend original masterpiece.
