Quiltin’ the Soul of Harriet Powers

Harriet Angeline Powers speaks to us today as a legendary folk art quilter born into slavery but used her quilts to tell the story of her daily and spiritual life. Her most famous quilt, The Bible Quilt, depicts scenes of the Bible along with local folktales of her community. In this session, get inspired by an overview of Harriet Powers and The Bible Quilt. Learn from this appliqué how-to session using lace and cotton figures of a dove, a camel, a high-stepping elephant, and a serpent, as depicted in her beautiful narrative quilt.
