  From UA Museums’ Department of Museum Research and Collections\, this exhi

 g Traditions” from March 2 – May 30\, 2026.\n\n \n\nLocated in the Moore-Wi

 bit brings together a variety of quilting traditions from all over Alabama.
  From UA Museums’ Department of Museum Research and Collections\, this exhi

 ted specifically for Tuscaloosa’s 200th year anniversary. Also displayed is
  a quilt on loan from Charlotte Nix from the West Alabama Quilters’ Guild\,
  along with a quilt made by University of Alabama students. Finally\, this 
 exhibit highlights a long-standing relationship between The University of A
 labama and the quilters of Gee’s Bend. Four unique quilts showcase the worl
 d-renowned artistry of the women from this small enclave in central Alabama
  and the important role quilting played during the Civil Rights Movement. I
 n the 1960s\, the quilters of Gee’s Bend and nearby Alberta founded the Fre
 edom Quilting Bee\, a cooperative to create economic opportunities for Blac
 k women in the rural Black Belt. By manufacturing and selling quilts nation
 wide\, the Bee helped families earn income while supporting a community dee

 e Legacy Museum continues to preserve and share the history of this remarka
 ble cooperative while supporting the ongoing tradition of quiltmaking.\n\n

DESCRIPTION:The Gorgas House Museum\, UA Museums\, and the Barefield Colleg
 e of Arts & Sciences\, in collaboration with the Freedom Quilting Bee Legac
 y\, are excited to present “Cotton\, Cloth\, and Community: Alabama Quiltin
 g Traditions” from March 2 – May 30\, 2026.\n\n \n\nLocated in the Moore-Wi
 lson Gallery of the Catherine and Pettus Randall Welcome Center\, this exhi
 bit brings together a variety of quilting traditions from all over Alabama.
  From UA Museums’ Department of Museum Research and Collections\, this exhi
 bit features The Bicentennial Quilt\, made by Yvonne Wells\, which was crea
 ted specifically for Tuscaloosa’s 200th year anniversary. Also displayed is
  a quilt on loan from Charlotte Nix from the West Alabama Quilters’ Guild\,
  along with a quilt made by University of Alabama students. Finally\, this 
 exhibit highlights a long-standing relationship between The University of A
 labama and the quilters of Gee’s Bend. Four unique quilts showcase the worl
 d-renowned artistry of the women from this small enclave in central Alabama
  and the important role quilting played during the Civil Rights Movement. I
 n the 1960s\, the quilters of Gee’s Bend and nearby Alberta founded the Fre
 edom Quilting Bee\, a cooperative to create economic opportunities for Blac
 k women in the rural Black Belt. By manufacturing and selling quilts nation
 wide\, the Bee helped families earn income while supporting a community dee
 ply connected to the broader civil rights struggle. The Freedom Quilting Be
 e Legacy Museum continues to preserve and share the history of this remarka
 ble cooperative while supporting the ongoing tradition of quiltmaking.\n\n
