Sandwich Guy Sue
About 40 years ago The Seamsters' Union appliqued a protest quilt.
All we had to protest at the time was the sentimental over-use a certain
child-like figure in quiltmaking. Those were the days.

We have finished the top and will show you more blocks in the coming weeks.
It's going to the quilter.
You may wish we had asked you to participate! We are asking you to participate.
Get your friends together and make your own Sunbonnet Sue Endures Trying Times quilt.
Post your Super Sue Quilt progress on our Facebook page:
SuperSueQuilts
In case you don't have patterns in your files we provide two here.
We made our blocks to finish to 10" because we wanted the
patterns to fit on our printers. You might prefer 12"
blocks or larger. It's hard to get all you want to say into 10".
Don't call them Dutch Dolls. They could get deported.
Fabulous, as always. When may I borrow it for the Museum? (need to plan an exhibition around it!)
ReplyDeleteHoping you will have several others to accompany it. We have to get Becky to quilt it yet and then somebody has to bind it!
DeleteAbsolutely love this! I have been piecing small sets of words to express my displeasure like NO KINGS, FREE SPEECH. Eventually I hope to have them all on one quilt. I have a flag like backing and am inviting friends and family to write what they want to say on the light stripes. But I do so love this Sue quilt it reminds me of the Prosperity Quilt? I think it was called with different people looking around the corner for the end of the Depression. Anne
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this!!
ReplyDeleteI used to get Barbara's post emailed to me. Don't know why I don't anymore and wonder how I can re-subscribe. Anyone know how? I can't find a place anywhere to do that.
ReplyDeleteI would have to pay for each person notified and emailed. That would be counterproductive. Do become a follower and check often.
DeleteBrilliant!!!
ReplyDeleteGoes to show that Sue is indeed timeless!
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing amusing about this. It's a barren view of history, filled with arrogance. As if the current "enlightened" woman is the best and the end of development. And yet she is a person devoid of respect for the past, who kicks it out of the way. One applicant lists as her whole resume that she is "a liberal and hates Trump." So even when this cold soul sews, she isconsumed by politics. But Lynn Bassett's is the most revolting. It is a kick in the seat of the pants for traditional women, which she seems to regard as the woman who reproduces. Her arid imagination does not permit her to envision a mother surrounded by children who are well-clothed and shod and who appear to be content with their sexual roles. Happy children, in other words. To view the"traditional woman" in such a way tells more about the viewer than about that woman. It is an insult to motherhood and gives voice to an unnatural view of life. What a negative bunch of women. What barren intellects.
ReplyDeleteOur mothers tried that trad wife role. Many were miserable, something Betty Friedan addressed in her 1963 book The Feminine Mystique. "Happy children" are aware of unhappy, bored, depressed mothers and vowed not to follow in their footsteps. Thanks Gaye Ingram for calling us all "barren intellects."
