ABOUT SUNBONNET SUE


Sunbonnet Sue appeared in quilting circles sometime around The Great Depression.  She was a blocky little girl with a big bonnet that covered her face.  The big, blocky shapes were simple and colorful.  Many older quilts show her little figure framed in squares or triangles with simple sashing strips and squares in between.


My own grandmother made me a Sunbonnet Sue quilt during the 1950's which I've cherished all these years.  I remember her spending hours picking out fabrics and juxtapositioning the quilt blocks for balance and composition.  She hand-stitched all her quilts with applique' and added embroidery here and there.


Since then, Sunbonnet Sue has branched out into many careers and activities; and most of us who have fallen in love with her have marvelled at the things she's gotten up to these past few generations.  With the broad use of embroidery sewing machines, Sue can be presented as a much more complex figure than the original little person made up of four little scraps of calico.


These designs are a return to the "Old-Time Sue", large, simple shapes with pretty embellishments and accessories.
