The last Sunbonnet Sue Sampler I made was a sunbonnet.
This time, for the most recent five stitches, I wanted to put them in a similar sampler - a bonnet. This bonnet is not for sheltering Sue from the sun though, but from prying eyes. I made a mourning hat where the Fancy Stitch would make a good veil.
The pandemic is far from over, too many people across the Globe have been devastated by the high death toll, too many people have lost a loved one, too many people have wanted to put on morning wear but not been able to attend funerals or take a proper farewell.
This mourning hat is a symbol of this sadness and sorrow.
Very sad subject.
ReplyDeleteVery nice bonnet.
ReplyDeleteBonnet is nice. Yes it is a sad story all over the world. We too lost 26 members in our church.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good thought. There is a sort of comfort in being at the funeral, and all too many people are not getting that comfort now. You will be able to track the progress of the pandemic through your Sunbonnet Sue Samplers..
ReplyDeleteA bittersweet way to remember this very hard time. The design of the hat is wonderful.
