Tulips #8 (Val)

This month's block is for Lucretia Mott.  She had quite a career in Equal Rights, starting as a school teacher she soon realized that women were paid half the amount as men for the same job (imagine that!).  After marriage she became a Quaker minister and used her public speaking opportunities to deliver speeches on anti-slavery.  With Elizabeth Stanton (block #6) she fought for Women's Rights by convening the Seneca Falls Convention.  Finally she served as president of the American Equal Rights convention which believed the right to vote should be extended to all people at the same time.  Sadly she never was able to cast a vote on her own, but thanks to her we can!!

 

I found this block challenging as far as fitting the pieces together for the tulips....but using a teflon sheet to iron all the flower segments together before attaching to background made it easier.

I hope everyone enjoyed a Merry Christmas with family and friends and Best Wishes for the New Year!
