They are terrific, can't believe we have some almost finished this early. I just started back to work and now have very little time, please be patient with me because I have 4 other swaps to do also.
|
Some day you will enjoy the blessings of retirement!!
|
If it counts, I have my backgrounds cut and most of the dresses and hats on fusible. :) Nothing cut out of course, but it's kinda there. :D
|
So black outlines? I love them!!
|
Yep dotcomdtcm - go with the black outlines. :) Do whatever makes you happy!
|
I would like to join this one, but I haven't started on the blocks yet....now going to look at some patterns...these are so cute and I can't wait to try them....
|
I was inspired by the 30's sunbonnet sues done so I am going to have to do a set like those also so now I am down for two.
|
Dotty, they came out soooo cute, i don't have fabs like you, mine are more moder or themed, so i guess i'll do that.
|
Modern works too! Anything goes. :) I've got some modern prints I have scraps of so I'll be using them for be of my sets!

Do they have to be hand stitch, I'm just not any good at that plus it makes my hands hurt, is it ok to machine stitch around the edges?
|
Hostess told me it's ok to machine stitch.

Thank you everyone for your nice comments... I just traced the outline of the picture [ATTACH=CONFIG]213811[/ATTACH] On this one I used my paint program usually all computer comes with them, then I just traced the picture and made my pattern from it... [ATTACH=CONFIG]213812[/ATTACH] |

Those sound great! I just realized I want to make one more Sue for our swap hostess. She lives near the beach, so her Sue will stand barefoot surrounded by seashells!
|
lindyline - go for it!! Have fun. :)
|
can these be machine embrodery squares
|
Sure. As long as the block is 10.5". The embroidery doesn't have to be that big - you can put a border of whatever around it!

Hi, I have a quick question, I am finishing my first set of sue's and sam's, I did a matching sue and sam, three different sets, for a total of l set of six. My question is, I want to do some more, but, I want to try another pattern of sue, and there is no sam with her, can I just do 6 sue's with the same background, different fabrics for her and no sam's to match? Thanks! jean
