Visitors to the Airing of the Quilts also take part in quilting demonstrations and storytelling from the descendants of generations of Gee’s Bend quilters. The exhibit is titled “Between History and Memory: Dinah Miller’s Legacy in Gee’s Bend.”Miller settled in Gee’s Bend in 1890 and is the earliest known quilter in the area. “This new exhibition will clearly celebrate Dinah’s life, tell her unique and inspirational story, and honor her immense contributions to the Gee’s Bend community,” Kelly said. The Airing of the Quilts Festival is hosted by organizing sponsors Freedom Quilting Bee Legacy, Sew Gee’s Bend Heritage Builders and Souls Grown Deep. The event is free with a recommended contribution of $40 to support the Gee’s Bend quilt-making community.
