Blanket Statement - Quilting for a Cause

“I may be their most passionate member,” says the snow-white-haired designer Natalie Chanin of the Southern Foodways Alliance (S.F.A.) Wholesale Jerseys, a nonprofit dedicated to preserving the culinary heritage of the American South. For years Wholesale Jerseys, it’s been Chanin’s calling to preserve the textile traditions of Florence, Ala., with her clothing line Wholesale Jerseys, Alabama Chanin. So when the S.F.A. director John T. Edge approached her about doing a collaborative project, hand-sewn quilts seemed like an obvious departure. Auctioned off this weekend at the Taste of the South event at the bucolic Blackberry Farm in Tennessee, this particular blanket features the words of Roosevelt Scott, the founder of Scott’s Bar-B-Que in Hemingway, S.C.: “…Cut. Chop. Cook. It’s all right here. In the wood.” But it’s just one quilt of many. “Sign me up for a baker’s dozen,” Chanin said when she joined the cause.
