"I came to realize that my mother, her mother, my aunts, and all the others from Gee’s Bend had sewn the foundation, and all I had to do now was thread my own needle and piece a quilt together." -Loretta Pettway Bennett.

Coming from one of the largest families of quilters in Gee's Bend, Stella Mae Pettway continues a tradition learned from her mother, Georgia Pettway, and grandmother, Delia Bennett.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Descending from several generations of quiltmakers, Lucy Mingo became one of Gee’s Bend’s leading spokespersons during the civil rights era. On participating in the 1965 Selma to Montgomery march, she declared, "No white man gonna tell me not to march. Only make me march harder."

ARS and the Souls Grown Deep Foundation are thrill

ARS and the Souls Grown Deep Foundation are thrilled to bring you the Gee's Bend Quilters collection by Keeco Home, now available at @macys! Bring quilting heritage to your bedroom with these perfectly crafted hand guided machine patchwork quilts, featuring a pattern by 5 quiltmakers from Gee's Bend, Alabama: Lucy T. Pettway, Loretta Pettway, Louella Pettway, Stella Mae Pettway, and Lucy Mingo, who we'll be highlighting on our feed for the next few days.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Percentages from each purchase of the quilts from Macy's will go directly to the individual artist and to the Souls Grown Deep Foundation which advocates the inclusion of Black artists from the South, including the Gee's Bend quilters, in the canon of American art history and fosters economic empowerment, racial and social justice, and educational advancement in the communities that gave rise to these artists. Learn more about the Gee's Bend quiltmakers from @soulsgrowndeepfoundation and shop the bedding collection via the links in our bio.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The intricate quilts above were inspired by the work of Lucy T. Pettway. Raised and trained by several of Gee’s Bend’s most serious quiltmakers, Lucy T. Pettway, known as “Lunky,” made quilts for seven decades. She was more curious than most of her peers about patterns originating outside the area, which she would collect and transform.
