I got excellent grades in English, but not for reading and interpreting the classics - I was good at diagramming sentences and writing - lol! As a child I read Nancy Drew books and other series like Sue Barton Student Nurse and Trixie Belden - lol! So I never read any of the books you have listed above (or if I did I don't remember them!), but I'm open to a sew-along based on them. James Herriot is my favorite author but not sure how his books would be adapted to a sew-along.

Probably because #1, so many of us refer to our seam rippers as “Jack,” but also because #2 I’ve been listening to a podcast series recently while quilting that is all about the five women who were murdered by the Ripper and what their lives were really like before they met their end. They were not all prostitutes as the papers reported at the time — in Victorian England, any woman who was out alone at night was immediately declared a prostitute by the police without further evidence. They were poor and living with housing instability (no homeless shelters, just lodging houses where you paid on a day to day basis to have a place to sleep indoors that night. They were alcoholics in a time when addiction was not yet understood, alcohol was an ingredient in all kinds of “medicines and tonics” that were widely used, and anyone who couldn’t “just stop” drinking was seen to have a moral failing rather than an illness. And at least one of them may have been homeless after fleeing a marriage of domestic violence. Anyway, if I was hosting a themed QAL (and thank goodness I’m not, right?!), I’d do one for the victims of Jack the Ripper who have been maligned and blamed for their own murders by history!
