Our mini journey to the museum
also included veiwing these awesome
quilts made from free slaves.
These textile beauties are reproductions recollecting
the diversity of quilting traditions
that were found within African-American communities.
Gorgeous
Lots of hand quilting in this one.
Simple
Although you cannot read the redwork on this beauty;
it told of the families journey.
Slaves passed their history through songs before they were free.
Vibrant
Not too shabby for reproductions.
The real McCoy.
This one was protected under glass.
Can you say LOVE LOVE LOVE!
I wanted to take them all home.
Quilting Blessings to All!

Gorgeous!! But, of course, that last one captured my heart - before I even read that it was the real deal. Why am I cursed like that?? LOL..... I've always been fascinated by the slave quilts....they are amazing pieces of history. Lucky you to have such a wealth of historical sites and treasures within traveling distance....
