Description
This stamp honors Loretta Pettway, a noted quilter from Gee’s Bend, Alabama. Her work, along with her relatives, has been recognized for its modern art aesthetic and innovative use of fabric and design.
The stamp features Pettway’s quilt, Roman Stripes/Crazy Quilt, which she created in 2000. This quilt was part of a series of quilts she made featuring a combination of bold geometric designs with a variety of fabric patterns and colors to create a unique visual effect.
Pettway’s work was brought to the public’s attention in 2002 when a touring exhibition of her work and her relatives’ quilts was presented in museums across the United States. The exhibition was widely praised for its innovative and beautiful quilts.
Pettway’s quilts have been described as “a mix of bold colors, improvisational patchwork, and bold geometric designs all woven together to create a visual tapestry.” Her quilts are a testament to her skill, creativity, and dedication to the quilting tradition. The stamp’s release is a fitting tribute to her work and her legacy.
