Ora Clay (1945-) started quilting in 2011 after taking a class at the Museum of the African Diaspora. Her first quilt, started during that class, was later acquired but the Smithsonian (seen below.) The daughter of a quilter who grew her own batting cotton, Clay now uses quilts to tell her own story

@artcollisions You’re so lucky! Not surprised it’s impressive IRL, she conveys so much info in just the one small quilt
