Prison Sue...in handcuffs since she touched the quilts at a quilt show (without white gloves)

Ax murderer Sue...think Lizzy Borden Sue

Jack & "Jill" Sue...but Sue pushing Jack down the hill

Bandito Sue...Sue in huge sombrero with bandaliers of bullets crossed on her chest and guns pointing in the air

Love it! I love sunbonnet sue and think it’s a great idea to make some bad sues.

yes! those blocks were so funny. I'm a tenderhearted mousie but I have a sense of humor.

I have heard of Bad Sunbonnet Sue but never have made one. I had seen somewhere comments on this pattern and some people thought it was cute and others were quite offended. I am not a fan of SB Sue so haven't paid much attention to it. Good luck on your search for other patterns for Bad SB Sue.

I’m not a Sue fan, but really got a kick out of the Bad ones. When you get a creative urge, I think you need to explore it! Unfortunately I don’t remember any specific Bad ones.

Never been a fan of Sunbonnet Sue, but I sure loved both the bad ones and the kill Sue ones. They were hysterical!

I just googled killer sue quilts. That's some disturbing stuff, ladies!

Poor Sue! (I'll stick to the cute 30's stuff, lol!)

Eleanor Burns has a video, one of her staff made small individual quilts, and a story with each one. I thought it was really cute.

I went back the next (paying the entry fee again) and, due to complaints by old biddies, the Bad Sue quilt was facing the wall. I asked to stay after to photo the quilt and was turned down.
It took umpteen years and the arrival of the internet before I tracked down the quilt to view it again at last!
