Sunbonnet Sue Chat List

Gone with the Wind Swap!

These beautiful blocks are part of a block swap organized by the sunbonnetsue chat list. 

Inspired by the beautiful love story and exquisite costumes, two Sunbonnet Sue chat list members, Jo R. from Minnesota and BC from New York, organized the 'Gone With The Wind' swap for list members. Approximately 25 avid fans of the most beloved movie of all time joined the swap which began officially on January 1st, 2002 and will finish on March 31st, 2002. Each participant selected a costume, scene, or quote from the movie to sew by machine or by hand in appliqué or redwork embroidery. Here are some of the blocks submitted to date.

Remember the sunset scene at Tara with Scarlett shaking her fist at the sky:

"As God as my witness they're not going to lick me. I'm going to live through this, and when it's all over I'll never be hungry again. No, nor any of my folk. If I have to lie, steal, cheat or kill; as God as my witness, I'll never be hungry again."

This striking appliqué is made by BC from New York.
