Graduate celebrates Rebel Women - University of Sunderland
As part of Heritage Open Days 25th birthday Sunderland Culture will be celebrating the lives ofRebel Women of Sunderlandwith specially commissioned artworks and stories and stunning artwork by a recent University of Sunderland graduatewww.sunderland.ac.uk
Amy Emms MBE, quilt maker. No one pays making quilts much attention because it's perceived as something women do, therefore domestic and unimportant, even though many miners did it, and County Durham excelled at it. Anyhoooooooooo Amy was one of its greatest ever proponents, achieving masterpiece quality eg with her daughter's entirely hand made, hand quilted wedding dress which is in Sunderland Museum.

Love this too, great to see local artists representing us so well.
So often people in the County Durham coalfields - men as well as women - took to making quilts because pitwork wasn't available due to death or injuryMy Great Nana (excellent seamstress) knew about her and took me to see the wedding dress when I was a girl.
Her Dad died down the pit when she was a girl and there was no welfare state then to look after her Mam and her sisters. They had a relative with a haberdashery shop and could get sewing supplies at cost price. They made all sorts of clothing and housewares, did alterations, knitted hats, socks, etc., crocheted mats and fancy tablecloths and all so on that were sold for profit. They would buy rags such as mens shirts where the collars and cuffs were worn. The good fabric from the body could be used to make cotton underwear, the scraps were mixed with other scraps and worked into a proggy mat and the buttons were kept for putting on newly made items. Loved hearing her tales about her younger years and I like to think I got my work ethic from her.
Women have been rebelling (or repelling) against your knob for years now.What about all the women who rebelled against their families advice to go out with this bad boy cad?
