Quilting and Patchwork

Grandma Moses’ “Quilting Bee” Painting

by Mary Emma Allen on December 20th, 2006

I find my attention captured by quilting and fabric art wherever I go.  Today while I was substitute teaching in an elementary school, I worked with students in an art class.  The teacher was informing them about Grandma Moses and showed a picture of her Quilting Bee painting.

This is a fascinating painting depicting the social activities typical of the old fashioned quilting bee, from the ladies quilting to the families eating and playing games.

A couple of books with featuring her work include Designs on the Heart:The Homemade Art of Grandma Moses and A Year With Grandma Moses.
