On display at the Smithsonian, the world’s largest museum, is a quilt known as the Bible Quilt. It was first exhibited at the Athens Cotton Fair in 1886. Harriet Powers, born a slave and thought by many to be an illiterate woman, was, in fact, quite literate. | Museum of the Bible

Harriet Powers was a woman of African descent, born into slavery in 1834. The majority of her early life was spent on the plantation of John and Nancy Lester in Madison County, Georgia. Sewing in Antebellum America was an essential skill most enslaved women learned at an early age from the other slaves, and sometimes from the mistress of the plantation. H.

Black history is alive in the stories we create, so let’s share it proudly! Harriet Powers was a trailblazer with her story quilts. Today, I’m reflecting on Harriet Powers, who used cloth to tell her stories at a time when her voice was often unheard.

2 minutes of me nerding out about American quilting history… join me! 🧵⬇️ These new USPS stamps, which will be officially issued later this month, celebrate an influential African-American quilter who blended West African & European quilting styles to express her spirituality and document collective memory. Harriet Powers’ pictorial works were undervalued during her life (she sold her first quilt for just $5, equivalent to ~$175 now), but her legacy has resurfaced in recent decades, inspiring c
