被子藝術啟發強力郵票設計
USPS 發行以 Harriet Powers 為靈感的郵票設計
美國郵政局正發行一套全新紀念版 Forever 郵票，收錄 Harriet Powers 於 1898 年創作的《Pictorial Quilt》拼布作品中的精細局部圖案。Harriet Powers 是一位來自佐治亞州、曾為奴隸的女性，19 世紀末成為知名的民間藝術家兼說故事人。這位非裔美國藝術家「於 1886 年在東北佐治亞農展會展出其《Bible Quilt》拼布作品後，開始獲得公眾認可」。此作品最終於 1968 年捐贈予史密森尼博物館。
這套以拼布為靈感、極具感染力的 Forever 郵票，展現了這件精細拼布作品的特定局部圖案，作品運用貼布及刺繡工藝，描繪聖經故事及本地傳說。這套郵票如同一扇通往更宏大故事的微型窗口，旨在激發大眾對 Harriet Powers 生平及工藝的好奇心。
英文原文
The United States Postal Service is issuing a new series of commemorative Forever stamps that feature detailed panels from the 1898 'Pictorial Quilt' created by Harriet Powers, a formerly enslaved woman from Georgia who became a renowned folk artist and storyteller in the late 19th century. The African-American artist "gained public recognition in 1886 when she exhibited her 'Bible Quilt' at the Northeast Georgia Fair." The piece was eventually donated to the Smithsonian in 1968.
The powerful quilt-inspired Forever stamps showcase specific sections of the intricate quilt, which uses appliquéd and embroidered fabric to depict biblical stories and local legends. The stamps serve as a miniature gateway to a larger story. They are intended to spark curiosity about Harriet Powers' life and craftsmanship.
