The Freedom Quilting Bee at Wave Hill carries on a tradition of quilt making that started during the Civil Rights movement in rural Alabama. Families are invited to Wave Hill to craft their own colorful creations out of squares of donated fabric to honor Dr. King’s Birthday and the inspiring women quilters of Gee’s Bend, Alabama. This activity is free and open to the public along with free admission to the grounds until noon on Saturday, January 19th.
