- Piece together how Michael A. Cummings of New York, New York, carries on the tradition of the African griot (storyteller) to transform quilts from utilitarian objects to coveted collectible art collages that preserve the family and cultural histories of generations of African Americans. Cummings stitches the stories of African American life into his quilts with vibrant colors, patchwork, and hand embroidery.

Beautiful work as usual! Love this video Michael.
I love to sew and embroider, my art form is to create with needle and. thead. I really admire folks who can quilt like this!! Even the simple form of quilting is a daunting challenge. These beautiful story or narrative quilts are truly works of art, like jeweled tapestries..Bravo.❤❤
