There was a small documentary about the quilters of Gee's Bend in the New York Times a week ago. If you missed it - nice to see something about the real people behind the famous quilts and their lives.
There also was an exhibition at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts several years ago. The quilters came to Boston,spoke at the exhibit and spent a few days seeing Boston. There also was a book published about that time that told the story of the community and the quilters as well as showing many of the quilts.
There was an exhibition of these quilts at the Indianapolis Museum of Art several years ago. It was very interesting!
