Sun Bonnet Sue fans don't like this one. Guess you have to appreciate dark humor.

I think it's cute! dark things, but so unexpected from our little sue... lol... Glad it's in a museum, though, and not hanging over my bed. How would you like to get That from your MIL? ;-/

LOL - Guess you'd have to be real careful who you gave this one to.

This is so funny to see because when this quilt was first mentioned in the KCStar newspaper back when I sent a letter to the editor about my feelings about their demise of our little Sun Bonnet Sue. I still have a copy of my letter to the editorial section and the article when my letter was posted. I'm still not a SBS fan but didn't feel she should have been 'done in' the way she was. I can laugh about it now but I was actually somewhat upset about it at the time. ;-D
