This is the third in my Unmentionables series. This quilt embraces tampons. I asked guild members to share their “code names” for their periods. Mine was Miss Murphy. The other names were shared by Candy Parker, Ann Prince, Maria Radecki, and Meagan Buch along with Donna Blalock’s encouragement for advocating for women’s health issues. I have tried to interject some humor into this discussion, but I recognize that periods can be unpredictable and painful.
