A few years ago, I bought a beautiful fabric and lace book which was dedicated to the Suffragettes and I thought I would share it with you today to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of that momentous day.
It was created by a lovely lady called Chris Flynn and I bought it from her Etsy shop My Irish Gipsy, the only fabric and lace book I ever bought other than the exquisite creations by Suzy Q. ( from her Etsy shop suziqu ).
I'll let the photographs speak for themselves -

Both beautiful and fascinating. We all owe a huge debt to these courageous women who put their lives on the line every day so we could have the right and privilege of being able to vote. I didn't realize the timing. Thank you for sharing it!
We truly owe them a huge debt, like Jeanie said. These women had so much courage to fight for our rights as women. How wonderful that Chris made such a beautiful tribute book to these women! Thank you for sharing it with us, dear Liz, it's a good reminder for us to be grateful for the rights we women have today and take for granted. Big hugs xx
It can not have been easy, back then - standing up for womens rights, being classified as rabidly women and surely did not have much help or understanding from most men , I suppose.
This beautiful book you bought dear Liz, is a fantastic prove of that ,- and also shows that we are both strong and persistent , as well as feminine and soft in the soul when it comes to things like beautiful dresses, laces- and much more.
Thank you for showing your treasure .
Warm hugs, Dorthe
Hello Liz,
What a wonderful tribute to these women who fought for us all to be free. It is such a beautiful presentation of history, and the lace fits the times too. No wonder you were tempted to buy this gorgeous book! I love the quotes - they are so powerful. Thanks for showing us this treasure! What an inspiration these women were.
Love and hugs,
