I have shared several of the quilts from the recent exhibit of African American quilters from Alabama. The quilts I am sharing today were part of that exhibit. These were all made by Yvonne Wells.

KatyQuilts 
I was very glad to find your page with Yvonne Wells’ quilts. I have loved her work and stories since discovering them during a quilt aesthetics course at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln. Her work touches me in such a profound way because there is so much to each story. Thanks for sharing since there were a few I haven’t seen.
Katy, did you say that these quilts are in the Flint Art Museum? If so, I will contact them to find out the schedule for this exhibit. I grew up in Flint and will be visiting this summer. I’ve seen an exhibit of the Gee’s Bend quilts and would love to see this one. Thanks for sharing.
As well as the fascinating history depicted in the quilts, I’m intrigued by the quilting. Those kind of naïve Baptist Fans cleverly add perspective to the pictures. Thanks for sharing these, very thought provoking.
Fabulous quilts! Loved seeing these today!
Wow…powerful quilts! The more you look, the more you see! Thanks for sharing!

These are all great! Thank you for sharing them. Hugs,
Thank you so much for sharing such interesting quilts and the stories. I really enjoyed reading each description along with the quilts. They really are special pieces with so much to say.
