We inherited a lot of these quilt blocks from my husbands grandmother. I have since made 4 quilts, they are gorgeous and so precious!

[@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!

[@chrislittebrant5235]

Wow Beth, no one will ever know that you had to add a block, this turned out so well and it’s going to be beautiful. I love this. Have a lovely Sunday, 🥰 Chris

[@poohbear101]

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.

[@loralielentz3974]

My great-grandmother made me a Sunbonnet Sue quilt, I was 10 years old. I've always cherished it. You've inspired me to make this for my great-granddaughters, I have 5 right now. I I love the embroidery stitching, as I'm not great at applique. Thanks🙏🌹🥰

[@imogenethomas1138]

Those are the sweetest little blocks! I love how the black embroidery makes the little girls pop.

[@debbielee7117]

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

[@Taliesin1997]

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!

[@patriciahomer5342]

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

[@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!

[@TeresaCreates]

I remember my grandmother made this quilt and it made me fall in love with quilting 💗

[@mrsmcdonald9363]

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.

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.

[@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.

[@heiditagge5776]

Cute. I still have my great grandma’s quilt of sun bonnet sue by her hands probably in 1950s.

[@Charlie-cz3jh]

I've already watched this video once or twice but I'm watching it again Beth. I can't help myself girl. You ROCK❣👍🥰😍

[@bethshibleyquilts]

Wow, thank you!

[@krisgraef3230]

I like the look of the running stitch in black, makes it look older than perhaps it is.

[@julieholleran974]

My Mom and i made a sunbonnet sue together--I cut out the pieces and she needleturned them...we named it "The Dollies Quilt" for a present for my daughter;))This brings back so many fun memories. I like the bonnet decorations... hugs, Julierose

[@susanbaker8023]

They are so cute. It's a shame that there weren't more of them. Love how easy it was for you to copy the pattern. I really enjoy how you tackle all that you come up with. Thanks, I so enjoy your videos.

[@tracyparris-volkner2721]

Such a wonderful find. Your block matches and looks really pretty. Look forward to see what you pair them with. X

[@juliemorrison4348]

What a great find Beth. Such pretty blocks and great to see you replicate an extra one using traditional methods. I haven't seen applique finishes like this either but great job. I'm pleased we have heat and bond type products to use now😅♥️🇦🇺

[@sherryfaires7931]

I was in a trance from the first minute! This was just wonderful how you made your pattern and all the steps that followed! I would never have thought to press around the cardboard shape! I just love how you did this! Super job! Thanks for showing us all your thought processes! It looks like the other blocks and your fabric choices are a great match! I hope you will show us your finished quilt. Thanks!

[@lorrainemcneil]

Is there anything you cannot do? You never cease to amaze me, Beth. You rock x

[@friedareading6814]

I have made six of these Sunbonnet Sue quilts, so much fun! I used reproduction 1930 fabrics. I have a quilt book with this pattern and I have collected other books with other sizes of Sue, so cute! Hope to make some of the other designs someday. Good luck with yours it will be so pretty. ❤️

[@Charlie-cz3jh]

May I please ask the name of your Sun Bonnet Sue book, with the many different sizes!? I'd love to make one but I prefer the smaller sizes. 🙂

[@tiffanycollier54]

Wow, Beth! You are always up for the challenge!! This is a great find, can't wait until see what other blocks you put with these! Thank you for sharing your talent and perseverance! Love your videos!

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.

[@davidhatfield5714]

❤️❤️❤️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!

[@monicabermea7652]

7 out of 30. Oh well. You certainly made sweet lemonade! I think you did such a beautiful job with yours. Actually I am glad your personal one is in there since you are saving what otherwise may have gone in the trash. You are a true quilter after my own heart. I save such items and upcycle too. ❤️

[@deenagraham5488]

Beth, another great video. I loved how you used the window to outline the patterns. Old School method definitely has its place. I've watched your KZbin "views" and "like"s grow over the years. You certainly deserve it!! I'm waiting for your next video!

I have a sunbonnet quilt top my Grandma made probably 60 years ago. A couple of them need repair. Very special.

[@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.

Sun bonnet sue is a favorite of mine, just wasn’t sure that I could accomplish it. But with the ease of watching you, I believe I have chance. Thank you so much for this tutorial your recreation of the block is awesome! 😊

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. Thanks for sharing! I love and appreciate what you post.

I absolutely loved the Irish chain style block Laura from SewVeryEasy did for her old collection of Sun Bonnet Sue blocks.

[@kathyrobinson9959]

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.

My grandmother made a quilt like this in the 1930’s. The block was made out of domestic fabric and the dress, bonnet, and shoes were made with flour sack material. Blocks and borders were sewn together on a treadle sewing machine.

[@2621paloma]

[@annettegraff8323]

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 .
