Ruth Kennedy

Here's one of the oldest quilters in Gee's Bend. Another wonderful woman who is still very productive. She has vivid memories of quilting throughout years and years of life. Both the communal creativity of a quilting bee and the individual expression and improvisation of piecing come to life in her conversation. "We would just put pieces together and then make up our quilt names- lazy gal, house top, pig in a pen...". She is very kind and generous.

Here she is with a quilt, and with Lucy Storz.
