Approaching eighty at the time and a seasoned quilt maker herself, Arlonzia Pettway readily recalled this quilt made by her grieving mother--and involving her own bereaved assistance. In Love Lies Here, Collins examines the small African American farming community of Gee's Bend, Alabama, through a quilt made by Arlonzia's mother, Missouri Pettway, to argue that this woman's quilt and her daughter's remembrance of it shine light on essential questions of living, dying, and grieving." |
