If you’ve been following this blog since its start about a year ago, you’ll know that I once attempted to start quilting. I love the look of seemingly unorganized patchwork and I thought it would be a fun hobby to get into. Being the impatient person that I am, I found the task to be a little too overwhelming and tedious for my liking. Knowing how much patience and skill is required to bring one of the beauties to life makes me appreciate them even more than ever.
I came across the top left quilt via Pinterest which led me to a plethora of quilts by Gee’s Bend. The variety of color and pattern in this catalog is just amazing. Take a look for yourself!
I was lucky enough to meet a few of the ladies of Gee’s Bend when they visited Maiwa in Vancouver last year. The quilts are as beautiful as the people who made them.
What a great experience. It would be lovely to meet those ladies!
These are so pretty! I really like the abstract-ness & color combo of the last one on the right. Looks like it could be easily turned into a painting!
I totally agree Julie, these would make beautiful paintings! Thanks for stopping by and Happy Sunday!
these are beautiful. thanks for sharing!
