a block made by me after tracing the blocks...
Back in the 1980's I bought this sunbonnet sue crib quilt at an estate sale. I'm not generally a Sue fan but this one grabbed me. The sue's held up well but the pink sashing is really faded and since there was only a little quilting the batting has all bunched and shifted.
A gardening and cleaning sue from the original quilt...
By now it was the early to mid-90's. I had just finished my first big applique quilt. So I started again.
Not 100% sure why it went back into the UFO pile. I'm going to spend a few hours kitting this up so I can use it as a take-along project.

how wonderful that a piece of work that has been maturing quietly has found a new life x
Sue is always such a fun character, no matter what she's working on. Thanks for sharing.
I haven't been enamored with "Sue" either, but these busy ones are fun.
I can't believe you found that pattern. What a stroke of luck!
Not a big fan of Sue either but the fact that these ladies are half embroidery half applique technique make them very interesting. It'll be fun to watch this project grow. Good luck.
I have a soft spot for Sue and these cleaning gal are so cute!
I don't usually swoon over Sue, but I really like these. Maybe if I quilted up some of these, they would do my cleaning? I wish!
