Freedom Quilting Bee at the 55th Bridge Jubilee Event in Selma

The Friends of the Freedom Quilting Bee (FQB) will reintroduce itself to the Black Belt Community in its participation at the 55th Bridge Jubilee Event in Selma AL.  At its booth at the Bridge Jubilee, the FQB will display and sell the quilt product of registered artists.  We will have on hand quilts, pot holders, bags and other items for sale directly from the artists who made them.  Commemorate the 55th Bridge Jubilee with a FQB T-shirt and mug which will also be for sale on the days of the event.

The FQB history began in 1966 as a Women’s Co-op in Alberta AL. The women of the FQB were some of the most storied quilters of the area and of the time.  This is the opportunity to learn about this group of formidable women and to purchase quilted items in the tradition of their work.  With the exception of one, the original members of the FQB have passed on.  This reintroduction of the FQB will be an opportunity to honor these women and continue the tradition of fellowship, artistry and education for and about the community.

We look forward to seeing you there – February 29 and March 1, 2020!!
