This gallery contains images of African-American quilters from Freeman’s three-decade study of people who make and preserve quilts. Additional images, as well as an overview of the continuing documentation of these quilters, their quilts and their family stories can be found on the exhibit pages for A Communion of the Spirits: African-American Quilters, Preservers and Their Stories (Click here to close this window and open that Exhibit). A similarly titled book was published in conjunction with the exhibit, and is available for purchase through our Online Catalog under Participate (Click here to close this window and view the Online Catalog).

Copies of inidividual prints from this Gallery are available in the Online Catalog
