Friday Revision Homework: Stitches 126 - 130

It was Linda at Linsartyblobs who suggested I used Sydd Tofs to depict Sunbonnet Sue as a cheerleader with pompoms. What a great idea! Thank you Linda.

Now what team is Sunbonnet Sue leading us to cheer for?
It is of course the universal team of people fighting the Corona Virus and its devastating impact on our lives and livelihood.

Let's root for

  • the heroic medical workers risking their own lives,
  • scientists and researchers trying to find a vaccin and a cure,
  • teachers, students or workers struggling to keep up with scheduled activities from home,
  • the masses of people who have suddenly become unemployed, and maybe evicted, too
  • those who have lost businesses,
  • world leaders trying to solve new and unpredictable problems,
  • lonely people struggling with isolation and depression,
  • medical workers and patients who are facing discrimination
  • families trying to keep peace in cramped homes,
  • victims of domestic violence,
  • all the people whose plans for surgery, weddings, holidays, exams... have been postponed
  • those masses who have lost loved ones...
  • and of course, all those patients who are fighting for their lives right now.

Sue looks great with her pompoms.

I'm cheering with you, Sue!

I tried the Syd Tofs on my latest applique but I didn't add as much volume as I perhaps needed. Still, the stitch gives some interest to an otherwise flat piece. Thank you!
