Grandmother's Choice - Block no. 12 - Little Boys Breeches - Dress Reform

Hand Pieced

My grandmother never wore pants...never.  In the first 2 decades of my life, pants were not allowed in school or church or any kind of social events.  I did wear pants and shorts and what we called peddle pushers for play.  So different today.  I don't think I've worn a skirt for a long time.  Can you imagine being confined in movement with a skirt all day.

Grandma, as I said, never wore anything but a dress.  She cleaned in a dress, did laundry in a dress, sewed in a dress, knit in a dress, shopped in a dress, went for walks in a dress, killed chickens in a dress...the list goes on.  We have come a long way...but don't we still wear high heals?   I stopped wearing them and my feet and whole body are the better for it. 

 No. 11

Little Red Schoolhouse - Lucy Stone

This is my version of Grandmother's Choice Block 11.  If you have EQ, you can search under schoolhouses and find several that can be modified to suit you.  I used Contemporary Pieced - Frames - Schoolhouse and then modified it.

BLOCK NO. 10: NEW YORK - SUSAN B. ANTHONY BREAKS THE LAW

BLOCK 10. NEW YORK

Block No. 10:  New York - Susan B. Anthony Breaks the Law.

Ms. Anthony Broke the law by voting.  For this they imprisoned her and put her on trial.  We are so fortunate to have been able to hold on to her skirts and all the women like her who fought so long and hard for our rights.

I created this block in EQ 7 and enjoyed piecing it.

Just an update on this post.  I created another Block 10.
