Gee's Bend Quilt Kits (Limited Edition)

Were you taken away by the incredible quilts from the Gee's Bend Quilters when you first saw them?  Now the Sewing Party has a selection of kits for you to make your very own.  These are "limited edition" quilt kits consisting of hand dyed fabrics.  This pattern is based off of the "House Top" quilt made by Rita Mae Pettway.  Windham Fabrics teamed up with the Gee's Bend Quilter's Collective to produce 4 kits that are replicas of originals all created by quilter's from Gee's Bend:


"A small remote community in Alabama (pop. 700), represents the genius of a group of exceptional quilters who, for more than a century, have created distinctive works of art for their homes and families. The textile artists of Gee's Bend are the inheritors of a tradition that goes back many generations. The "discovery" of these unique American masterpieces has led to their exhibition in museums including The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, The Whitney Museum of American Art, New York and The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, among others."

Introducing Cecile, shop owner of the Sewing Party

Aren't these pillows pretty?! Cecile made them for display in the shop to show off these fabulous designs by one of her very favorite designers, Anna Marie Horner. Cecile is a very talented sewer, quilter, and pattern designer and really enjoys dreaming up and creating all kinds of projects from home to personal accessories and of course, those lovely, lovely quilts in her shop. She has taken many seminars with Kaffe Fasset and has made many of his quilts. She loves the really challenging patterns with curved seams, Y seams and the like, and she makes it look all so easy. Half the fun of coming to her studio/shop is seeing her creative energies at work and on display.
