Law Suits Brought by Alabama Quilters Resolved

How about this, can you believe I am actually posting on quilts. You see, I do have an open mind when it comes to the fine and decorative arts, so please let it be known that I am not just a furniture snob.

The Associated Press is reporting that three quilters from a rural area in Alabama known as Gee's Bend who were selling elaborate multicolored quilts to Atlanta dealer William Arnett, his sons, Paul and Matt Arnett, and Tinwood Ventures have settled a lawsuit prior to trial.
