Thank Mother Bendolph for drinking from the fountain. I am able to quilt like I do now because of the history of Gee’s Bend! God bless all of you❤️🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽
This interview really points up that the creative drive can be frustrated (no resources to work with and little time) but not extinguished. What these quiltmakers achieved with incredibly limited resources is not just inspiring and humbling, but tells us that it is the creative function that takes quilts to the next level. They had to push hard to transform those materials into something beautiful...a good lesson for every quiltmaker.
I love to hear the stories because that's history. The people are so humble & gentle. I would love to go there to meet the quilters. They all have been blessed with a talent for creativity. God bless the work of their hands.
I sit here listening to these stories and you can hear the love and faith in God and in Life..regardless of how hard their life has been. This is what makes the Quilts so special. As they said they were singing praying and the soul of these quilters went into their stitches.❤

Nice to have their story recorded for the next generations.
I grew up in the times they are talking about and I have fond memories but I don't want to live that way anymore

Compelling stories and exquisite visual art created by generations of graceful women🖤
Resoursful❤❤❤❤ God bless The mothers of necessity.. these quilts are more beautiful than those made with “ pretty” stuff.
Excellent discussion!
