ATTENTION: quilters close to Tacoma

I just happened to be watching a program on PBS this evening and was busy when it was over so I wasn't near the remote to switch channels. Glad I wasn't. There was a great program about the Quilters of Gees Bend. Wonderful! I've seen programs on these quilting women before and never tire of learning more of their history. Then they announce that there is an exhibit of these quilts at the Tacoma Art Museum. "Gee's Bend: The Architecture of the Quilt" It will run through December 9th. I hope anyone in the Western Washington area can get to the museum to see it.

Thank you Val......... I've read about this quilt collection, and would love to see it, up close and personal.

DH brought me the press release on this and we already have plans to travel to Tacoma for the exhibit in November. I'm so excited. I am a child of the south.... my first job was in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, right on the delta near the Mississippi and Louisiana borders. I met so many women there who had quilts with bright, incredible patterns on them -- just thrown across a sofa or on an old chair. Amazing people working to survive overwhelming hardship.

Well, I'm going and looking forward to it immensely.
