Thanks for sharing this site. I have the book "Ladies Day Out with the Bonnet Girls" by Helen Scott out from the library. Her applique is so detailed and clever. I don't know if I'll ever have the time or patience to make a Bonnet Girls quilt, but I do love looking at the pictures!
Oh, I meant to add, there was a quilt in the PICTURES section with both Sunbonnet Sue and, I think, Parasol Lady. I don't recall who posted it, but if I remember correctly, her mother had made it for her. In fact, I think it was that quilt that caused me to get the Bonnet Girls book out from the library. I have to make a couple of phone calls, then I'll come back and look for it unless someone else finds it first.
I love Sunbonnet Sue and would like to make SS quilts for my granddaughters, but they show absolutely no interest. I think she's too old fashioned for them. They do like the Parasol Ladies and Bonnet Girls, though. Maybe I should just make a four seasons SS wall hanging for myself. That shouldn't take forever and at least then I'll have made one.
