Women’s work project

I was invited to join the women's work project following on from International Women's Day. The brief is a traditional block in the women's suffrage colours which were violet, clover and white from the Kona colour card. Deadline of 8 May. One block is doable and makes a change from big projects.

I dug out my colour card and found a good match from OG Cotton and Steel and Alison Glass. The next task was to find a traditional block which spoke to me. This is Happy Home from circa 1901. I love the Ohio Star block and this is a variation.  We never know what goes on behind closed doors and women often put on a brave face to the outside world.
