First time here? Here's the idea: TSP is a network of blogs about the many facets of the word sister, and the concept of sisterhood. A sisterhood of sister blogs, you could say. Whatever sister means to you, from identical twin to sister-in-law (or in-friendship or in-feminism), we’ll make room to listen in about it or express it on TSP. Like the slogan up top says, “Don’t you have something to say to your sister?” We've got galleries of art and literature by and about sisters, and a Sisterpedia of sisterly trivia...but now we're getting ahead of ourselves. The quick study: 
As the suffix of its name suggests, 
No surprise, really, that sisterhood, often life’s longest relationship and always one of its most important, has been the Muse for so much creative self-expression by women, and also by men.

Check out Susan Harbage Page’s work. I saw an exhibit of her subversive embroidery-on-vintage linens works down in NC about this time last year. I keep the postcard of “Iraq” (2006) on my bookshelf at home…
I wish I could provide a good link, but am having trouble finding many images or chat specifically about her embroideries. susanharbagepage.com doesn’t seem to include them but susanharbagepage.blogspot.com has a few things. While you;re there, be sure to check out those toile Klan hoods! Oh my… The installation shots of “I’m Sorry/Not Sorry” don’t do her work justice–those flowers painted on the wall were just distracting. I think you’d like her cutting feminist commentaries…I think she may also have some of her work on Facebook…
Angie in DC.
Welcome, Angie, and thank you for the reco. I am going to do some hunting down those paths, and tell my TSP sisters. I hope we see you here soon again, and happy holiday weekend meanwhile.
