Hi Gramma Nancy
There is a quilt called Ms Sue-Alive and Liberated. I saw it years ago in “Quilting Together” by Paula Nadelstern and LynNell Hancock. I can’t find a picture of it online, but it does fit the description you give. I only clearly remember 2 blocks from the quilt - Sue modestly sunbathing at a nude beach (using her hat of course) and Sue throwing her hat into the ring when running for president. Other blocks depicted Sue in non-traditional (women’s) jobs, playing a sport or doing something adventurous.
I know there are other quilts like this - there is an interesting article I found on ‘google books’ that discusses SBS quilts (written by Linda Pershing.) Hope you find what you are looking for. If you find any pictures, please post the link.
Are you making one? I love story quilts (influenced by Ms. Sue and the Harriet Powers quilt.)
