This group of seven stitching sisters will be performing in New Jersey, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania during February. In the photo are Anna Stevens, Kathleen Lindsey, Bertha Kellum, Ida Rowe, Phyllis Walker, and Elnora Gardenhire.
The Seven Quilts for Seven Sisters group performs skits, songs, dances, and quilts to bring slave history alive. The goal of their "lively performance depicts the joys of sisterhood and the trials of slave life and how quilting helped them cope." The sisters also have a CD, "Down By the Riverside" featuring sixteen songs sung a cappella. There's a 1 minute sample on their website of Swing Low, Sweet Chariot. Their voices are marvelous!
