Memories! I spent a month with my best friend’s family in the summer of 1975. Her mom was making a Sunbonnet Sue quilt for the county fair and had us girls help her. It was my first experience quilting.

Wow, that brings back memories. When my 54 year old daughter was very small, I made her a Sun Bonnet Sue and Overall (?) Sam quilt. It was fun to make and she still has it. Lots of tiny pieces. No heat n bond back then. Your embroidery looks terrific! Great job!!

[@IngridMijares]

Hermoso resultado. Al final no se distingue la diferencia entre el tuyo y los originales. Ya quiero ver tu quilt armado ❤️

[@marcellarodriguez7955]

That was my mom’s favorite quilt block. I have some of her pieces to still put together and blocks she gave me and a pink sheet for the back fabric. Years ago when my mom used to quilt in the 70’s she used cardboard and I have her magazines and some of them have her cardboard templates. You did a wonderful job! I’m sure the original quilter would be pleased that you’re finishing her work. I hope to one day finish my mom’s. She’s only been gone two years. Hopefully soon so everyone could enjoy seeing her work 💐. Thank you for the inspiration.

[@nonyabidness1623]

Sunbonnet Sue, Farmer Bill, and even cats in Bonnets,. Wow memories are flashing! Taught my 80 Year old M other in Law to do applique, and she made her grandson one! I In 1994, I still have that same pattern! Hmm I'm getting some age on me! It is so fun to do the Sunbonnet Sue!

[@gloriaelswood8762]

By the way I forgot to tell you that you inspired me to get my Featherweight out and cleaned and oiled! Sews like a champ and she’s 88 years old. She belonged to my great grandmother, then my mother now me! Thank you! I don’t think you know how much your channel means to me! I call you my quilting friend!

Thank you for saving the quilt blocks! They must be happy. Reminds me of the gothic cathedrals. One generation started it and another finished it.

What another wonderful thrifty find for you Beth! I just love them and the way they were appliqued! You did a great job in matching the ones that you found. Please post a video of the quilt when it is finished!

I love that block! That will be a sweet little quilt when you finish it. Make sure you show us the finished product!

[@donnagraham2802]

Loved seeing this video. I have the Sunbonnet Sue quilt that my grandmother made for me when I was a young girl. She also made the block with the boy in overalls. She embellished each block with extra embroidery, like a dog, a fishing pole, a wheelbarrow, etc. I don't know how she found the time to do this as busy as she was on the farm! Great memories today.

Sunbonnet Sue is one of my favorites. Yours matches very well. So cute.

Someone appliqued this quilt using this exact Sunbonnet Sue pattern when my mother was born in 1930. It was never quilted, unfortunately, until I was born in 1953. I still have it and it's such a treasure. Wish I had a daughter to pass it down to. Thank you for bringing back such good memories.

[@Shelleyvanhouten27]

I love Sunbonnet Sue. I made 21 blocks and all were hand embroidered. I lost them before finishing the top in a move. It broke my heart, and I couldn’t pick up a needle & thread again for years! Finally, this year I am relearning to sew and I am just now finishing my third quilt. Thank you for your videos, you are so inspiring.

[@Dranma51]

❤️❤️❤️I love Sue so much. Appliqué my favorite! I’ve done this very thing on quilts I found at ..where ever..yard sales, estate sales. Over the years I have made patterns using the window to copy. So fun to watch this..another great video!

[@deenagraham5488]

This pattern is almost identical to the one in 101 quilt patterns. By Ruby McKim. Older soft cover book , but might be found as reprint @ amazon. I've had the book for almost 50 yrs., used so many times. Used patterns as is, changed sizes, changed settings, etc.!,etc. First made the sunbonnets when G., Mother taught me to hand applique when 9. She cut them free hand, every one doing a different activity. Wish I still had that quilt. Used an old flannel blanket as batt, old precale sheet as back. I'm just turned 77. Wow... long time ago & still making quilts.

[@sadiejosiemom]

I was writing to tell you all about my three generation quilt (twin size) like that and POOF it was gone. Too tired to rewrite except to say it was made by grandma, mom and me. Grandma born in 1890s, mom 1914 and me 1953. Gma appliqued, mom put quillt together and handquilted and I did the binding. Plus I have lots of blocks and her paper patterns.

Beth you did a wonderful job. I am amazed at how close your material choices matched the originals. Please make sure and show the quilt when you get it finished! I would love to see it. I just love your channel. Thank you so much for the time you take in making and editing your videos. I did a Sunbonnet Sue many years ago for my daughter and did 12 of them going through the month. The one for her birthday month had a cake and candles. March, my birthday falls on Saint Patricks Day and I put Sue in a green dress and green Shamrocks in the grass, Sue was a bride the month my daughter got married and pushing a baby carrage the month she had her baby. it was delightful. That was 21 years ago. Thank you for bringing back such wonderful memories for me.

[@leslieschmidt9765]

I wonder if the tag meant that the blocks were 30s blocks, since the fabrics were 30s style. That is an unusual way to appliqué, but I like the effect. Your little lady fits in perfectly. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with them.

Looks great.I have a whole set of Sunbonnet Sue blocks done. They were done like 20 years ago but the blocks are not square. Back then I didn’t know what I was doing and didn’t have a good way to square them up. Now I do. Maybe when I get a break in the action of my normal quilting, I will go back and finish those up.

You have some wonderful Rummage Sales where you are. They may have been made by different people in the same family. I noticed that the bonnets were in greens and in lavenders. You did a good job of making one that looks a lot like the others. I like the way the black thread outlines the Sunbonnet Sues. When I was in first grade, I was taught to take my black crayon and outline my picture before I colored it. First grade for me was 68 years ago. Outlining in black always made the pictures look better. I have seen applique made like this before. I have never made one. Thank you for this video.

This is my all time favorite pattern, I have the accuquilt die for Sunbonnet Sue, but I always love to see how they are put together and the choices of fabric every one uses

[@TheStaffOfLife]

@Wanda R. Hello. You're blessed to have that die for SunBonnet Sue. When I was new in the Church I volunteered in our Primary class to help raise funds for mission projects (Investment). Long story short, I didn't get the participation I had hoped for so I ended up making most of them myself, but never made the quilt. A few years later I donated them to another church who has a big Bazaar every two years and one of their members made a quilt from my blocks. They auctioned it off for mission funds. So it ended up being used for the purpose for which it was designed 😃 I really like the pattern & would enjoy making more, but after a surgery in March, my vision hasn't been normal, so I am not planning that. Maybe in the earth made new 💜 Blessings

[@Wanda6308]

@@TheStaffOfLife So nice to hear from you Catherine, I am also very involved in my church and also another church in our area that asked for strong prayer warriors that would be willing to lift prayers for a special program that reaches out to help others in the community. I love sewing and mostly cut my own pieces for blocks, but I do have 8 accu-quilt dies. to be able to use these for fun raisers would truly be a blessing.

[@TheStaffOfLife]

Thx for writing! Sounds like you're a blessing all around. Nice! One of our churches across town has a quilt group who make them to bless others who are recommended or requested by members, etc. It'd be fun to be part of that.

I have a top from the 1930's in this pattern . It has huge Sunbonnets . The top drapes over my queen size bed . Been thinking about cutting the blocks smaller . It also has two blocks for shams. Each Due has a different fabric print with a solid hat to match . So fun to look at ! I also do hand needle turn applique . No need to be perfect with that and I love the black stitching around. Old aprons can be a source for the fabric I have a lot but hate to cut them up .
