The Quilts of Gee's Bend | John Beardsley, Museum of Fine Arts, Houston
post image

This quilt is not from Gee‘s Bend, which is famous for quilting; it‘s from a quilter with Azalea City Quilters Guild whose work is on display in our library. This one‘s my favorite. I walked 1.04 miles on a deliberate exercise walk and another 1.20 miles of incidental walking. 😊 #bookfitnesschallenge #bfcr2 #goteam @wanderinglynn @Emilymdxn @cewilf @cobwebmoth @Megabooks @RachelO @TheEllieMo @Trashcanman

Megabooks Fantastic!! I‘m glad you were able to keep the momentum up. I‘m proud of you! And that is a gorgeous quilt. 😁 5y
