New Gee’s Bend Book


I noticed today when I was looking for a book on Amazon that Tinwood is publishing a new book about Gee’s Bend quilts, “Gee’s Bend: The Architecture of the Quilt” – it can be preordered here. It’s due to be released November 28, 2006.

It almost looks as though these Gee’s Bend books are becoming more and more valuable – I have “The Quilts of Gee’s Bend“, and even used, it is being sold on Amazon for $90. “Gee’s Bend: The Women and their Quilts” is being sold for $275 on Amazon (and $289 on Alibris, even)!

Auburn has a site with some pics from the Freedom Quilting Bee Festival in 1966 here and many more quilt pics with some short commentaries here; a Gee’s Bend Quilt is Alabama’s ‘Official’ Quilt – and the state site has instructions on how to make it.
