I made 2 for my niece's twins, but I guess I sort of cheated. I machine appliqued them on my Janome and it was a piece of cake! They really turned out cute.

yes, I did make 2 of them. I enjoyed making them as each block was different. I could also use up some of my scraps. Loved matching the colors and embellishing each block different. Fun to do!!!!!!!!

I'm looking forward to seeing the end result. It has been a great way to use up scraps.

I have made 2 different versions of Sunbonnet Sues and an Umbrella Girl. I did needle-turn applique on the Umbrella girl, freezer paper applique on one of the Sues and fused the other one and blanket stiched it. I prefer either of these methods rather than the interfacing method which I have done on other projects. I used authentic vintage fabric on the Umbrella Girl and reproduction 30's fabric for the Sues. They were SEW EASY and turned out lovely. Don't give up, you can do it and your rewards will be great!!!!

That book is just so helpful, I have just taught my ladies how to do applique using it.

don't know if they are related. My daughter is 35 and we had Holly Hobby dolls, etc. for her but I think Sunbonnet Sue is much older, like 30's or so??
