Happy Birthday Emma

April 7, 2021

Sunbonnet Me to You (from Splendid Sampler 2)

I love Sunbonnet Sue and I have a book full of patterns using her image. I was so happy when the ticket I pulled for Emma’s block was this one (I don’t think I even fudged on it).

I’m not a big fan of appliqué but I’m getting better at it. As well as a fun pattern it was nice to use up some of my coloured threads. How did I get so many colours of thread when I mostly use white or grey? I even made the quilt Sue is holding and her boots may be my favourite part.

Hopefully Emma will have a sunny day for her birthday, although I doubt she’ll be wearing a bonnet of any kind.
