Minder Pettway Coleman (October 11, 1903 – 1999) was an American artist. She was one of the Gee's Bend quilt-makers, along with her older sister Delia Bennett and her daughter Minnie Sue Coleman.[1][2][3]
Life
Coleman was an active citizen of Gee's Bend, Alabama. She was as the president of the Gee's Bend Farms agricultural cooperative,[4] established by the Farm Security Administration in the 1930s, and was vice-president of the Freedom Quilting Bee, established in 1966. She was also a member of Gee's Bend's weaving cooperative in the 1930s.[1]
Career
Quilters communed and worked together at Coleman's house before the Freedom Quilting Bee was founded, so it is no wonder that Coleman worked there full-time from 1966- 1978. Along with Mattie Ross and Patsy Mosely, Coleman wove draperies 76 inches wide and 250 inches long for the Roosevelt White House.[1] She also wove a blue- and- white striped cloth for a suit for Franklin Delano Roosevelt, of which local lore holds that he was buried in.[1]
