Sometimes there is a cross-over that happens to the Bag Ladies. Gertrude is one of them I think. Perhaps she may have been a member of the Red Hats Ladies Society at one time or maybe she just was a "wannabe." She certainly dresses kind of like them, but the big blue plume in her hat tells me she may have spent some time somewhere else. At any rate she looks kind of dressy. And that common thread that runs through all the Bag Ladies...she loves Fat Quarters! Pre-printed, Pre-colored design ready for hand embroidery. Design area measures about 8" x 10 "inches.
