February 1, 2008 - Sunbonnet Sue - Directions & Discussion
#1
Our block for the first two weeks of February will be a Sunbonnet Sue block.
I have found many, many sites for you to look through, for there are many Sues out there. Here's the challenge... after you've picked your Sue you may opt to embellish your block according to what Sue is doing.

http://www.quilterscache.com/S/SunbonnetSueBlock.html
http://qnm.com/articles/feature12/ An article about Sue's history with some neat quilt pictures included.
http://www.crystalpalaceyarns.com/equilters/library/gallery/SSue/SunBonnetSueGallery.html Some Sunbonnet quilt pictures.
http://www.stitchersneedle.com/patterns/sunbonnetsue.html Paper pieced Sue.
http://www.nmia.com/~mgdesign/qor/styles/classicblocks/sueandbill/sueandsam.html
http://www.frommarti.com/qnn.html Sue and Bill patterns
I am also including a site for "Bad Sue". You might get some "additional ideas" from this site. :mrgreen:

The last site posted is for paper folding but I think it ought to work with folded fabric also.

I made this Sue for our Aunt and Uncle's quilt. We were using reproduction fabrics. She's rather boring just standing there doing nothing, don't you think?

Thank you jbs.
I'm hoping people will enjoy the challenge here. I know I need to practice applique and this seemed like a fun way to do it!
It was so hard to select just one block for the bom! There are just so many out there that I want to do. (You should have seen the other one I was seriously looking at!)

i love that you tracked down so many different links for it.

Patrice,
I don't want to hear it. There's no whining allowed in quilting!!!:D
I've decided to use this block to jump start my Sue quilt to be.:shock: Oh, dear. How many WIP will this make????? :shock: :shock: HELP! Someone needs to tell me to stop and complete a few so I can have room to start more! :shock: :shock: :shock:
Hhhhheeeeeelllllllllpppppppppppp! I'm drowning in projects!
PS
Don't you just love 'bad Sue?' Oh, the possibilities!

But do I whine? well, I suppose this blatant plea for sympathy is, in fact, nothing more than a whine. Well! as Leslee says, I'll have some bread & cheese with that whine, and make it a party! :-))

We'll call it a quilting bee!
Y'know what? On Superbowl Sunday (tomorrow, if I'm not mistaken) I *won't* start a new project with one of those virtual quilting bees... I'll finish one! There!
I've got a mission! (And I'll make a Sue too!) :-))
Big plans, huh?
...it could happen!

I've noticed that this "Bad Sue" address sometimes doesn't work. If not try this
http://badsuequilts.com/
Or try going to http://sunbonnetsue.com/ and then scroll down to the Bad Sue link and click on it. Options, we have options.
P.S.
Can I come to the party if I promise to behave!??!??

Yvonne, Many thanks for your efforts in listing so many areas for us! I love the pattern and am anxious to do the iris fold! I appreciate being introduced to another area of quilting that is so new to me.
Have a wonderful day! Happy Quilting!!!
