Denniele's Block #2
with a ghostly Susan B
March 8 is International Women's Day so we're celebrating today
with Block #2 from the Yankee Diary Quilt, Susan B.'s Star.
In the 1870s Susan B. Anthony was tried in the Canandaigua New York Courthouse for "knowingly voting without having a lawful right to vote." Carrie Richards, our Yankee Diarist, was living nearby at the time and undoubtedly well aware of the trial, which received national attention.

He does have a wiggle. I think Terry said hers was tiptoeing. The fact that they have "feet" and "arms" makes them take on personalities. This is a primitive style quilt, don't worry.
ReplyDeleteHah, yes: that's why it's that way -- it's SUPPOSED to be primitive :)

ReplyDeleteSusan B Anthony's quilt, that she made when she was 15, is in storage at a Rochester, NY, museum. A reproduction of it can be seen here...http://www.iberkshires.com/ckfinder/userfiles/images/IMG_6668.JPG
