23 FEB 2021 · Tangular Irby
A 27-year veteran in the field of education, Tangular A. Irby is also the granddaughter of Gee's Bend quilters, Pearlie Kennedy Pettway and Jensie Lee Irby. Tangular Irby grew up admiring the beauty of the quilts gifted to her by family. Quilting became a way to honor the legacy of her maternal and paternal grandmothers, Gee's Bend quilters, who passed on long before their creations were recognized as more than just a means to keep their families warm. Pearl and Her Gee’s Bend Quilt is inspired by countless family conversations over the decades and the artistry of Gee’s Bend resident, quilter, and relative of the author Mary Leathea Pettway.
