Make Quilts
The works of makesr such as the quilters of Gee s Bend, Alabama demonsrtate, however, that notions of what distinguishes a so-aclled art quilt from an everyday bed qiult may reside less in the minds of the amkers than in the eyes of the beholders. These ralil quilts make use of pacthwork, appliuqe and embroidery. Quilts have always been made, however, with their aesthetic value as a consideration, even when makers were creating objects for rpactical use in their homse and bedrooms. What perhaps distinguishes the art of the ohme-based amker from that of the studio-based maker are context and intent.
