My first ever quilt blocks were Sunbonnet Sue blocks too! As a treat on Friday afternoons in 8th grade, my teacher let us sew these blocks together as long as our classroom work was done! She made them into quilts for charity. I LOVED Friday afternoons! It took me many years to continue my quilting experience but am so happy I found quilting again. Plus, even though I did not quilt, I have always done handwork, like cross stitch embroidery, knitting, crocheting, making my own clothes. I credit this teacher and my two grandmothers for instilling the love of sewing and handwork in me! My mother did NO sewing at all!

the very first quilt I made was Sue and Sam, 30 blocks. I embellished the costumes with lace and rickrack, embroidered French knots on one dress, braided a fine hemp to make a hat band for one of the Sam's hats, added a patch on a couple of his pants, and gave it to my adopted daughter. It is still the favorite of all the quilts I've made. She has never put it on a bed. Soooo disappointing.
