She will discuss the legacy of Gee's Bend quilting, her relationship to Gee's Bend quilters, and the inspiration for her children's books. Tangular will also encourage others to consider writing and sharing their own stories. There will also be a book giveaway, while supplies last. Event will take place in the Children's Room (2nd floor) and is offered in partnership with Yale's Affinity Groups.
