African Research Quilting
Information & Research
Hi: I will be adding Quilting Information, our favorite sites, quilt clubs, newletters and
Quilt Research Info here so that it can be updated and shared as time and resources permit.
This weeks feature quilter website is the Clara Ford Foundation
Visit the website at http://clarafordfoundation.org
They offer quilts that I want and tips and projects as well as news quilters need to know. I have personally met Ms. Brantley and she is a great quilter.
Clara Ford Foundation is a nonprofit corporation, established in 2005 to promote, preserve and celebrate the art of African American quilting and quilting in general. It was founded by Atlanta quilter O.V. Brantley to honor her grandmother Clara Ford, who lived and quilted in Crossett, Arkansas until her death in 1966.
