Editorial Reviews

The Quilts of Gee's Bend presents the genius of a group of exceptional women who, for well over a century, have created distinctive works of art for their homes and families. Hailing from one small rural black community in Alabama with a population of about 700, these women have produced hundreds of quilt masterpieces...The Quilts of Gee's Bend presents a particular place and its people, who have created a body of art so rich in its content and so remarkable in its execution that it now enhances dramtaically the American cultural landscape.

This review is from: The Quilts of Gee's Bend (DVD)

I saw the Gee's Bend Quilt exhibit at our city's art museum and it was a memorable one. I am a quilter but I truly don't believe you have to be a quilter to appreciate the beauty of these quilts as well as the women who lovingly stitched each one. During the exhibit this DVD ran on a monitor and I was captivated by it so I purchased it. Periodically I view it because each time it stirs a lot of emotion within me. I laugh with these women and I marvel at their strength as well as their spirit. This is a lovely, lovely, very well produced account of the women of Gee's Bend, their friendships and their relationship with quilting.

I am so glad that I ordered the Quilts of Gee's Bend DVD. It exceeded my expectations, and as a teacher, I was able to incorporate the DVD in African American Literature class. Also, the company offered upgraded shipping free of charge.

This is really a great historical dvd. It is filled with much inspiration of how quilts from a time were so important and still play a important roll in our homes today. Anyone who ever had a grandmother or, a favorite family member to share the art of how to make a quilt, or to receive one will have a great appreciation for this dvd.
