Lucky and I send holiday greetings!
Yes it's cool enough some days for Lucky to be wearing his coat. Hope you are all doing well and having decent weather!

Well the Seamsters' Union has done it again. They've made another Sunbonnet Sue quilt reflecting our current political and societal landscape. You can see it here. You may remember that back in the 1970s, the Seamsters' Union did a quilt entitled "The Sun Sets on Sunbonnet Sue." It was a protest against all the cutsie Sunbonnet quilts being made at the time. There was a great uproar about it in the quilting community. You can see that one here.
As a person who adored and collected Sunbonnet quilts and patterns, I will tell you that I never minded these quilts. I understand why some people found these objectionable. But the way I see it, everyone has their own opinion and...quilts like these make the pattern even more popular and relevant.

Haptic and Hue have a few new podcasts. I haven't had time to listen to any of them but I'm particularly interested in the hooky rugs one that was released recently. Marion (from Marion's World on Youtube) did a whole show about the rug making. It was interesting. You can see a list of the podcasts here.

Have a safe and happy day!
