Ruth, I ahve done all 3 and my favorite is Sun Bonnet Sue. So much opportunity for your own personality to shine through on her. You can add embellishments like rick rack and show her holding ballons with rick rack for string, or rick rack at the bottom of her dress to represent her petticoat or embroidery on the hat band or apron. All kinds of neat possibilities with ole susie q
