Sunday Stitch School's collection of stitches has now reached 150. For every five stitches learned I have made a revision lesson, and the homework has been to make a Sunbonnet Sue sampler featuring the five stitches.
With 150 stitches, it means there are 30 Sunbonnet Sues. Here are some of them:
The typical traditional Sue
 |
| Stitches 81-85 |
In this sampler Sue is an adult and has slimmed off her puppy fat.
 |
| 26-30 |
Sometimes she has no bonnet, but her face is hidden,
behind flowers,
 |
| 41-45 |
 |
| 111-115 |
 |
| 121-125 |
Sometimes Sue is seen from behind.
 |
| 31-35 |
This week's homework:
The Sunbonnet Sue for stitches 146 - 150, is another traditional quilt design for Sunbonnet Sue.
I used Stem Stitch for the outlines and reserved the five stitches for the clothing.
I think the Knotted Stitch was perfect for the straw bonnet, and the Woven Circle in variegated thread made a yummy lollipop.
It's so good to see some older Sue's again. This new Sue is adorable!
ReplyDeleteThe stitches work well on the the new Sue.

ReplyDeleteOh, these are all wonderful. Some cute, elegant, funny or can make a statement on health. I love Sue's last stitches.
ReplyDeleteDo you have thoughts on how you will use the Sue collection?
Oh, she's a real poppet! And yes, that's a yummy lollipop indeed.
ReplyDeleteSo cleaver! I am still laughing at the virus spinning around. Interesting where those stitches take you.
