Until the mid-1900s, most Gee’s Bend quilts were made of used denim work clothes. This was a necessity for the quilters as store-bought fabrics were often too expensive, and reusing fabric was the most resourceful quilting method. A captivating aspect of these Work Clothes Quilts are the “ghost pockets,” where a former pocket has been ripped off to reveal a deep blue denim patch on an otherwise sun-bleached fabric. See these incredible quilts on display in “Souls Grown Deep: Artists of the African American South” through September 2.
