Square 17

One patch is all but worn away -- a pity, since the embroidery here was very nice.

Labor Day is the only holiday that repeats in the quilt. I don't know if it's because she added the second patch in the repair, or didn't like that patch to begin with, or maybe it was her way of making sure her grandchildren were totally pro-labor (was Nana Lord a secret union activist?), but I love this version. Her model was obviously the Arm and Hammer on the baking soda box.
