Gees bend Quilt Revisited

The owner of the Gees Bend quilt, obtained in the early 1970s, was thrilled to hear from Jeff Cunningham that his brother Joe informed that the quilt was worth quite a bit more than she ever imagined.

The quilt was in the Pentwater Quilt Display in July, which the quilt owner and I organized. I was curious about a man who was talking to people about the quilts like someone who knew what he was talking about, and went over to meet him. I was surprised to find out who he was. He had been in the area for the Art Fair and heard about the quilts. He enjoyed the venue and encouraged us to continue the event.

Educating people about the proper value and care of their quilts is so important.
