Sunbonnet Sue as Lizzie Bordon
This block was sewn by Joanne in Oregon at Patchwork Acres. She writes:
My Sue is a representation of a woman named Lizzie Borden who was accused of killing her father and step mother with an axe. This all happened in Fall River, Massachusetts, in 1892. After a sensational trial she was acquitted in June 1893. The crime was never solved.
I used dark somber colors to represent the time and mood.
