I found a Sunbonnet Sue book at the thrift store yesterday so I put her on my bag 🥰

...I need to know how one passive-aggressively passes down a quilt pattern, please.

So for a moment imagine that you are my grandmother, who, like her mother-in-law, is a quilter. Her mother-in-law, my Grandma Edith (technically great-grandma, but you know how it is) particularly liked Sunbonnet Sue. My grandma, who has recently had a daughter, contacts her mother-in-law and says that Sue (my mother) would probably like a Sunbonnet Sue quilt, hint hint.

Grandma Edith sent her the pattern in the mail.

Happy nice ask day! What are some of your favorite quilt patterns?

Hello! I am so happy to tell you.

I really love the simple nine-patch pattern. It’s hard to mess up! You can vary it a bazillion ways. It’s a classic for a reason.

I also love (looking at) the traditional Sunbonnet Sue, but I don’t have a lot of interest in trying to make her. I have barely tried appliqué, but I can just tell it’s not the kind of thing I would enjoy doing.

Not that you asked, but I also love tiny blocks (or “postage stamp quilts”), 1930s reproduction fabrics, and paper piecing.

I’m kind of trying to do all of the above here with this paper piecing version of Sunbonnet Sue. Maybe alternating with the nine patch or maybe two separate but related quilts? I do not remember. This is as far as I have gotten and I haven’t picked it up in years:

What is nice ask day?

I was there.  It was NOT the good ol’ days.  Everyone who was a kid in my neck of the woods were all hyped to learn American Sign Language as part of the OOO AMERICA fixation around 1976 (the US Bicentennial Celebrations).  We were focused on Holly Hobby, Sunbonnet Sue, and some random boy who also had no face.  Bellbottoms (you call them FLARE JEANS now) were high waisted and super tight except after the knees and often they were hand-embroidered with images or symbols invoking Free Love or Intoxicants (favorites being cannabis leaves and ‘shrooms), and the big, yellow, smiley face.  Lots of peace symbols, etc.  Honestly, my favorite things to do was jump in mud puddles all day and never go home til there was zero option but to go home.

1970s.

Ah, those were the days...

...not that we were there, of course. But we can sure as sugar pretend: listen to dusty vinyl records, grow our hair in all manner of styles, write on typewriters, watch films from the innovative "New Hollywood" directors such as Martin Scorsese, Stanley Kubrick, Mike Nichols, Elaine May, Barbara Kopple, and Francis Ford Coppola if we're feeling artistic, neigh, intellectual (or sit down with Star Wars, Jaws, Rocky, and Saturday Night Fever if we're not), go to a lot of protests, recall our most grisly, harrowing memories from 'Nam, wear high-waisted trousers, and try to sneak into Fleetwood Mac's ever destructive, irresistibly sexy inter-band drama. 

In short, there was a lot happening in the 1970s, or indeed, the #70s, all of it big, bold, colorful, yet earthy, and very often brilliant. It was a decade of immense cultural, political, and societal change, much of it for the better, and much of it that, at the very least, continues in spirit to our own day. The 70s is not such a period of time, indeed, but a state of mind.

My Mother's Dish Towels

My Mother’s Dish Towels

Before I married in November 1977, my mother gave me six dish towels. “Here,” she said. “I received a dozen of these when I was married, and I want you to have some.” She and my father married in June 1955. The towels had had some use, but I think my mother mostly kept them aside, not wanting to wear them out. All the towels had Sunbonnet Girl appliques made from pieces of my mother’s old…
