STORY

Admire the colorful artwork of the Gee’s Bend quilters as you play with these two fifty-four-card decks. Build a winning hand on game night or deal a set for solitaire—there are as many ways to use these playing cards as there are pieces in the beautiful quilts that adorn them. 

Since the early twentieth century, the Quilters of Gee’s Bend, a small Black community in Alabama, have created hundreds of patchwork masterpieces. Their imaginative, boundary-pushing work constitutes a crucial achievement in the history of American art. This two-deck set of playing cards features quilts Loretta Pettway and Qunnie Pettway.
