The Union County Heritage Museum hosted a quilting activity featuring the famous Gee’s Bend quilts. Attendees learned about the history and significance of the quilts during the event.
Participants also had the opportunity to make their own quilt blocks inspired by the distinctive patterns of Gee’s Bend. The event aimed to celebrate local artistry and quilting traditions.
The activity was part of a series of community engagement efforts, with local media outlets including WTVA 9 News, the New Albany Gazette, and Mississippi Public Broadcasting covering the event. The museum partners with the New Albany Main Street Association, the City of New Albany, and other local organizations to promote cultural activities in the area.
