Look Mom, No Hands! Sunbonnet Sue Estate Sale Find
#24
That's a pretty quilt, but the no hands thing freaks me out. Bar the very unlikely option that we are being inclusive of amputees and others without limbs, the only message I can take from no arms is that she is powerless. I am just getting past issues of being freaked out about never seeing her face (upside is it could after all allow any of us to imagine its a picture of us). But honestly- it's hard not to be disturbed by no hands, especially for those who work with their hands.
You could appliqué her some new hands and let her get busy!

I was a first grade teacher and some of their art left A LOT to the imagination. Anyone wishing to know more about this design can google Sunbonnet Sue and Sam. There are several free printable patterns from different eras. It's interesting to see the different designs.
this SS quilt is gorgeous. I love the quilting that was done. You really hit the jackpot with this one. Congratulations.

After reading the posts I clicked on the link to the sunbonnet sue history & my AVG said there was a virus on the sunbonnet sue pages, so don't go there unless your anti virus is up-to-date! It may just be my computer.
