QOF Episode 49 - Gee's Bend Legacy Tangular A. Irby

Welcome to Episode 49 of the Quilter on Fire Podcast! Today my guest is a descendant of 2 Gee's Bend Quilters - Tangular A. Irby. She is an author, educator and quilter who is highly educated in Business Administration, Educational Leadership and has a Masters in the Art of Teaching. Her love of children's books developed during her time as a second grade teacher. She is the granddaughter of Gee’s Bend quilters, Pearlie Kennedy Pettway and Jensie Lee Irby. She grew up admiring the beauty of the quilts gifted to her by family. Quilting her very first quilt was a way to honour the legacy of her maternal and paternal grandmothers, Gee's Bend quilters, who passed on long before their creations were recognized as more than just a means to keep their families warm.Watch the Youtube Trailer  here: https://youtu.be/zHcdbiMlD_UEnter the weekly prize giveaway here: https://kingsumo.com/g/rjlz8w/qof-episode-49-giveawayPurchase the Gee's Bend book here: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/PearlsQuilt?country.x=US&locale.x=en_USSupport the showThank you for listening to the Quilter on Fire Podcast.
