Quilt Culture

Really quickly I just wanted to share with you two great stories about quilt and piecing culture in the United States. The first is an article about the Gee's Bend Quilts of Alabama from Smithsonian. Click on the picture to read the story.

The second story is about Seminole patchwork piecing and how it is used by young women today. There is audio if you prefer to listen to it. Again, just click on the picture below.
