According to an article in The Plain Dealer, the quilters at Gee’s Bend, a rural town in Alzbama, have provided inspiration for a play, “Gee’s Bend,” at The Cleveland Play House. Three actors will portray three generations of quiltmakers made famous by the colorful quilts made at Gee’s Bend.
Also on display are quilts made by the African-American Quilting and Dollmaking Guild and the Quilt Club at the St. Peter Church – Marion Sterling Elementary School. For more details of the exhibit, read the above article in The Plain Dealer by Julie E. Washington.
