One Hundred years ago today, Congress ratified the Suffrage Act. The 19th amendment granted women the right to vote in the United States. Here's a good article on the suffrage movement: Women's Suffrage - Fight For The Vote.
To commemorate, the hard won victory, I've completed stitching Suffrage Act.

This was fun to stitch up. I changed quite a few of the colors to suit my taste.
Ladies - Exercise your right and vote!

I keep seeing this piece around - I love the fabric you chose! I'm very tempted to stitch this up and change the flag and date for Canada...🇨🇦✊🏼
That is pretty Meari and I ALWAYS vote..
Well done on your Suffrage piece! Love the colors you used!
Beautiful finish!! Perfect time to finish it. I just registered to vote today. First time I will have ever voted.
You got my vote , lovely stitching.
It turned out really great. I can't wait to exercise my right to vote this year!!
Hello Meari,
I came across your blog today when I was googling for directions for lamp base repair! You did a great job with your Needlework lamp. Seeing your method and excellent directions, maybe I will tackle this repair myself.
It was amazing to look over your blog posts and pics over the YEARS. Your production is impressive. I have dabbled in cross stitch, quilting, smocking, mask making, so all this was very enjoyable to see.
Your Suffrage piece is beautiful.
I hope you are safe, happy, healthy, stitching and crafting as much as you want to be.
All the best,
Carol in SW Ohio
