Quilts of Gee's Bend Stamps

Quilts of Gee's Bend Stamps.

The Postal ServiceTM will issue 39-cent Quilts of Gee's Bend commemorative stamps in 10 designs in a pressure- sensitive adhesive (PSA) double-sided booklet of 20 stamps (Item 674500) on August 24, 2006, in Des Plaines, Illinois (APS Stamp Show). The stamps, designed by Derry Noyes of Washington, DC, go on sale nationwide on August 25, 2006.

These stamps are the sixth in the American Treasures series that showcases beautiful works of American fine art and crafts.

Art director Derry Noyes chose photographs of ten quilts created, between circa 1940 and 2001, by African- American women in Gee's Bend, Alabama. Created for the practical purpose of keeping warm, the quilts of Gee's Bend are noted for their unexpected color combinations, bold patterns, and improvised designs. The variety of materials with which they are made - including old dresses and worn-out work clothes - also demonstrate great ingenuity.

How to Order First Day of Issue Postmark

Customers have 30 days to obtain the first day of issue postmark by mail. They may purchase new stamps at their local Post OfficeTM, by telephone at 800-STAMP-24, and at The Postal Store Web site at www.usps.com/shop. They should affix the stamps to envelopes of their choice, address the envelopes (to themselves or others), and place them in a larger envelope addressed to:

Pictorial Postmarks Announcement

As a community service, the Postal ServiceTM offers pictorial postmarks to commemorate local events celebrated in communities throughout the nation. A list of events for which pictorial postmarks are authorized appears below. If available, the sponsor of the pictorial postmark appears in italics under the date. Also provided, as space permits, are illustrations of those postmarks that were reproducible and available at press time.

People attending these local events may obtain the postmark in person at the temporary Post OfficeTM station established there. Those who cannot attend the event, but who wish to obtain the postmark, may submit a mail order request. Pictorial postmarks are available only for the dates indicated, and requests must be postmarked no later than 30 days following the requested pictorial postmark date.

All requests must include a stamped envelope or postcard bearing at least the minimum First-Class Mail postage. Items submitted for postmark may not include postage issued after the date of the requested postmark. Such items will be returned unserviced.

Customers wishing to obtain a postmark should affix stamps to any envelope or postcard of their choice, address the envelope or postcard to themselves or others,insert a card of postcard thickness in envelopes for sturdiness, and tuck in the flap. Place the envelope or postcard in a larger envelope and address it to: PICTORIAL POSTMARKS, followed by the NAME OF THE STATION,ADDRESS, CITY, STATE, ZIP+4 CODE, exactly as listed below (using all capitals and no punctuation, except thehyphen in the ZIP+4 code).

Customers can also send stamped envelopes and postcards without addresses for postmark, as long as they supply a larger envelope with adequate postage and their return address. After applying the pictorial postmark, the Postal Service returns the items (with or without addresses) under addressed protective cover.

The following postmark has been extended for 30 days.
