Gee’s Bend Quilting Experience
with Mary Ann Pettway and China Pettway
This is a one-day, in-person quilting experience led by Mary Ann Pettway and China Pettway of the Gee’s Bend Quilting Collective.
You spend the day sewing in shared space with the artists. This is not a step-by-step class. You work at your own pace, observe their approach, ask questions, and receive individual guidance as you sew. Most importantly, you experience the music sung from their souls. This is a rare and unique experience!
What to expect.
• A full day of sewing in community
• Direct time with Mary Ann and China
• Insight into Gee’s Bend quilting traditions, stories, and songs
• Space to work on your own project or contribute to a shared community quilt
• Good company and conversation
This experience centers process over product. You learn by watching, sewing, listening, and being in the room. The day reflects how quilting lives in Gee’s Bend.
