"Tired of Giving In"
Laser printer on muslin, cotton fabric, cotton batting, cotton thread. Machine quilted. 11.5" x 11.5"
Shortly after I read this week's theme last Sunday, I saw a news story about it being the 105th anniversary of Rosa Parks' birth. Rosa Parks was unquestionably brave and bold, as were the many others who stood up for themselves (and others) by marching, sitting in, registering voters, protesting, etc., during the Civil Rights Movement. My quilt honors their bravery and sacrifice. The title is from a Rosa Parks' quote explaining why she didn't give up her seat on the bus, "People always say that I didn't give up my seat because I was tired, but that isn't true. I was not tired physically ... No, the only tired I was, was tired of giving in."
