Gee's Bend Tea Infuser Mug
The extraordinary craftswomen of Gee's Bend, Alabama, have nurtured the art of quilting since the 19th century. Women enslaved on Joseph Gee's cotton plantation, established in 1816, initiated the practice out of necessity for warmth, and it burgeoned into a tradition passed down through the generations. Astonishing in their originality, each Gee's Bend quilt interweaves history and narrative.
