Admire the colorful artwork of the Gee's Bend quilters as you play
with these two 54-card decks. Build a winning hand on game night or
deal a set for solitaire-there are as many ways to use these
colorful playing cards as there are pieces in the beautiful quilts
that adorn them! FROM THE MUSEUM TO YOUR GAME COLLECTION: From the
High Museum of Art in Atlanta to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in
New York City, quilts by the Gee's Bend artists hang in major
collections throughout the United States. Now, you can bring these
inspiring pieces into your home, and share them with the people you
love. INCREDIBLE ARTISTRY: The vibrant colors, playful geometric
shapes, and organic improvised patterns that define the Gee's Bend
quilting aesthetic have garnered increasing attention and
admiration in recent years. Shuffling through the colorful playing
cards of this deluxe boxed set, it's easy to see why-the quilts are
eye-catching and distinctive, an inspiration to quilters, crafters,
and art-appreciators everywhere. A POWERFUL STORY: Women in the
small Black community of Gee's Bend, Alabama, have created hundreds
of quilt masterpieces over the years. The inhabitants of this rural
community are primarily the descendants of the slaves who worked
the fields of the local Pettway plantation for generations. Nearly
surrounded by the Alabama River, and lacking access to ferries that
now transport people to and from this tiny hamlet, Gee's Bend
remained geographically isolated for years. That isolation created
dire economic conditions for the town's residents-but it also
allowed the astounding creativity of these quilters to flourish and
grow into a cultural legacy unlike any other.
