Old Beauty

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 used to work all day and when night come, I was sick all night. I couldn't sleep and I couldn't eat, but I can thank the Lord now and say that he has reached way down and picked me up, made my life better. I have food, money, a roof over my head, my health and strength. . . –Artist statement
