“I am an artist, teacher, lecturer, writer, and curator. I am passionate about elevating quiltmaking and empowering women to express themselves. I have written a number of articles, contributed to many books and wrote one, Quilts in the Attic: Uncovering the Hidden Stories of the Quilts We Love, I curated the first exhibit of Gee’s Bend quilts to travel outside the U.S. (Georgia, Armenia and Kazakhstan). I curated an exhibition of art quilts in Kyrgyzstan. I was the chair and conducted nearly 200 interviews with quiltmakers for an oral history project including Georgian quilters.”
