@quiltbev 🙌🏾 All in all, my familiarity with American’s Southern social expressions, and my personal experiences greatly impacts my works. My quilts “Cherry Picking” and “Too Much Sugar for a Dime” were inspired by my mother’s use of Southern expressions. I heard her saying them and she heard her grandmother saying them during the Great Depression in Barnwell, South Carolina. ⠀ When my mother would say “that’s too much sugar for a dime”, I had no idea what that meant. However, I could tell by the tone in her voice she was not having it! #SupportBlackArt #BeverlySmith #QuiltBev #BlackArtist #WomenArtists #artquilts #fiberart https://www.instagram.com/p/CD_4f97BEag/?igshid=7cjflxpbm15w
