Well, homework is set for every Japanese child during the summer holiday, so why not join them. Sunbonnet Sue is taking part in her own way, have a look on Friday.
It is now Friday and we can have a look.
Sue is a university student and has got a summer job helping these poor Japanese kids with their homework, and teaching them Botany.
On the whiteboard we can see an illustration of the Russian perennial Point Russe (Consuo Ruthenia) with its elliptic or Fishbone shaped leaves (os piscis).
Sue can't be teaching in Japanese, it must be in some kind of strange language, Scottish Cretan, maybe, which I can't read, or is it just her scrawny handwriting?
To gain respect she is dressing well above her age, in a dowdy Point Russe blouse, frumpy Berwick skirt, the belt and sensible flat shoes are of Scottish Cretan brand.
As she is teaching indoors, (it's too hot and humid to have a lesson outdoors) she has removed her sunbonnet to show off her coiffure. She has parted her hair in the Fishbone style and hitched up her ponytail in the Puffy Couching way.
(Even the green bow is made up of the Fishbone Stitch)

Love the puffy vouching hair! I'm going to remember that one!
I love it, too. I will use it for other hairstyles, too.
The hair is great!
The story is as great as the stitched picture. Well done!
I love it! Sunbonnet Sue, without the bonnet! It’s amazing how you design so many pictures to show off these stitches. Absolutely great fun!
Oh, yes, I love the hair too!

It was as enjoyable to do the write up as the actual stitching!
I am very pleased with the outcome, both of the parted back of the head and the curls.
Oh, wonderful! Both the stitching and the story!
I don't know what the real point with Sunbonnet Sue is, but the fact that you don't need to stitch or appliqué her face makes it so much easier. The same applies if we see her from behind, without her hat.
Making up a story helps making the design.
Both were fun to make!
What an excellent use of the stitches to create Sue - her hair is eye-catching. Sue looks modern and young; just right for students.
I admire your talent.
I didn't know Sue had such pretty orange/red hair?
Isn't it gorgeous?
Oh, I tried to make her look middle age and frumpy, to keep the students in check!
Yes, Sue is dressed for business!
Wonderful stitching, Queenie and a fun story.
We've had company so I'm slow leaving comments.
It was fun to make, but I am running out of linear stitches and had to do Sue's body in Stem Stitch.
Good to hear you have been entertaining.
