Sweet Home Alabama

Welcome to Alabama!
When you search online for “quilters in Alabama” a flood of articles, videos and stories appear about the infamous Gee’s Bend quilters. These ladies are, arguably, some of the most famous hand quilters in our entire quilting community.
Named after James Gee, originally from Hallifax County, NC (1816), Gee’s Bend is located across the river from Camden, Alabama. Gee brought with him 18 slaves and established a cotton plantation.
Throughout the years since, this community has used faith and quilting as their strongest connection. Each generation passing down their passion and creativity to the next, insuring their long lasting art.
You can read more about the artists themselves, as well as book a retreat to learn from the masters by visiting their website HERE.
SOME POINTS OF INTEREST NOT TO BE MISSED:
- Birmingham Museum of Art – Great Quilt collection!
- Black Belt Treasures Cultural Arts Center in Camden
- Gee’s Bend Mural Trail
- Montgomery Museum of Fine Art
- Tinglewood Trail in Orr Park – Montevallo, AL – amazing carved trees!
