Bus Trip to See “The Quilts of Gee’s Bend” at the De Young Museum

Join us on a bus trip to the de Young Museum in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park to view the Quilts of Gee’s Bend exhibit. This exhibit is a collection of quilts made by four generations of African American women who lived on the Alabama River. The quilts were pieced from scraps of cloth, and are remarkable for their design, originality, and beauty. This is the last stop in the three-year nationwide tour of this exhibit. After spending the morning at the de Young, we will be going to the Ferry Building, at the foot of Market Street on the Embarcadero, leaving from there to return to Sacramento. The Ferry Building is one of the premier shopping venues on the Embarcadero, and features an extensive list of shops (many celebrating food) and restaurants, with a great view of the bay.
