Lazy Gal

Born in Gee's Bend, Alabama, the women of Gee's Bend are known for their creative Americana quiltmaking style. This print is based on an original quilt made by Loretta Pettway. I made my quilts out of old shirts and dress tails and britches legs…Some people would give me old clothes, and some of them my children couldn't wear, and I would tear them up and make quilts. –Artist statement
