Have you ever heard of the Gee’s Bend quilters? We attended the Airing of the Quilts festival, an annual event that celebrates the legacy of Gee’s Bend quilters that extends all the way before the U.S. Civil War. These women have fed their families, created art, and funded Civil Rights movements with their skills and talent in quilting. ❤️ #FSTravelsAlabama 📍Gee’s Bend, Alabama #geesbend #geesbendquilts #sweethomealabama #alabamalife #alabama | Flashback Summer
