Unique, Vibrant, Exceptional

African American Quilts!

The Clara Ford Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation formed to promote, preserve and celebrate African American Quilting. The quilter behind the foundation is Clara Ford. She lived and quilted in Crossett, Arkansas from 1892—1966. Many of her quilts are featured on this site.

The Foundation is active in preserving the legacy of quilters who were often unrecognized and unappreciated. Look for articles and activities on preservation, history and documentation.

The Foundation also celebrates a new generation of quilter. It provides education, exhibit opportunities and a community where women of exceptional talent and vision can gather.

The signature projects of the Foundation will be its Christmas Tour of Quilts, Big Mama’s Legacy Tour of  Quilts and the establishment of an African American Quilt Museum.

We hope that you will support our efforts and visit us often.
