Sunbonnet Sue with a rifle; there's a nightmare waiting to happen :p Joyce in DE

The whole show was spoiled by the Sunbonnet Sue quilt. How mean spirited. Not funny at all.

Thank you so much for sharing!!! Beautiful quilts!!!

I totally agree. Ruined it for me!

For those commenting on the Sunbonnet Sue quilt, it may help to know that Lawrence being a college town, it is the most liberal and "artsy" place in Kansas. You can get away with much edgier forms of artistic expression there than you could in the rest of the state. If you notice the explanation in the picture, you will see that they were trying to show Bad Sue - as in, basically everyone in the state hates the Westboro Baptist Church and the nonsense they proclaim.

I actually think it's interesting to see the different ideas of "bad" the people who worked on it had. For instance, tattoo artists and "hippie" types might be considered conventionally questionable but are kind of the norm in Lawrence, whereas Fred Phelps, members of the NRA and those who watch Fox news are truly looked down on by the majority in that area. All that being said, the quilt is not my cup of tea either. :)

they were really a delight to see. Thanks

A wonderful show. I'm sure that SBS was quite controversial. I couldn't tell if the maker was yea or ney on the subject matter and didn't understand two of them. The subjects were all very current and someday this quilt will make a historical statement.

All the quilts are wonderful. The hawk, dogs, DWR and teal & rose log cabin along with all of them are outstanding. Thanks for the show.

As much as I don't agree with the sentiment in the block, freedom of speech out ranks the responsibility that goes with it. I think this is an important quilt and will have historical value as it deals with very current and controversial subjects .


This is an important quilt, imho.

Thanks so much for taking the time to post this show for us. Really appreciate it. Great pics, great quilts. Love the diagonal braid and the hexie quilts. Could never pick a winner, they are all so diverse.

Yes, thank you for sharing these quilts. I can only hope my guild's quilt show is as interesting and inspiring.

Thank you so much for sharing your photos; it is definatly a spirit lifter ! I don't get to shows to often and this was a very good show ! Loved several of the scraps quilts that I think I could make. I made a few notes. Thank you again ! Happy Quilting !

Thanks for the show.

Great quilts. I especially find the predominantly black and white quilt intriguing. I can't quite figure out how to accomplish it.

Many gorgeous quilts, thanks for sharing.

Gorgeous, what a talented group of ladies. Thank you for sharing these
