Conversation with Mary Margaret Pettway, Gees Bend Quilter

Mary Margaret Pettway is a Gees Bend Quilter. From Black Belt Treasures Cultural Arts Center:

“Like so many young women growing up in Gees Bend, Alabama, Mary’s inspiration and knowledge of quilting came from her Mother, Lucy Pettway. She says that making quilts, clothes, aprons and bags was a necessity as well as a way of life because you were “using what you have to make what you need”. She has spent the past 39 years using this motto as her guide.”
