Gee's Bend Pettway Quilt Design Tote
A Museum tote bag inspired by The Met collection.
The extraordinary craftswomen of Gee's Bend, Alabama, have nurtured the art of quilting since the 19th century. Astonishing in their originality, each abstract quilt interweaves history and narrative, resourcefulness and innovation. This tote celebrates Housetop and Bricklayer with Bars, a pattern by Gee's Bend quilter Lucy T. Pettway (American, 1921–2004). This exceptional textile (ca. 1955) is the only Gee's Bend quilt in the Museum's holdings that appears to be intentionally pictorial; Pettway realized an imaginary aerial view of the old Pettway plantation, formerly belonging to Joseph Gee.
