Friday Revision Homework - Stitches 301 - 305

It was fun to make this Sunbonnet Sue sampler. 

I know she is not shading her face from the sun with a bonnet, but as her face is hidden under the mask, she will certainly not get a suntan, so I'll pass her off as Sunbonnet Sue.



As I have tried to illustrate in other Sunbonnet Sue samplers, Sue is a lady who is trying to inspire others to keep fit and go on a healthy diet. 

That explains why she has prepared a pot of steaming pumpkin soup instead of a basket of treats to offer any visitors. I am sure most kids will shun her house for more than one reason and would rather visit someone less scary who will give out calorific sweets instead.

Trick or Soup! Booooo


Happy Halloween!

Perfect Sue for this season!
Did you read the Wizard of Oz series of books? (Fourteen books by L. Frank Baum). One of the books is Jack Pumpkinhead.

Pumpkin Soup is rather good, and I do like the way Sue is thinking!

The moment I opened the blog page, I burst out laughing.😂Sue is cute even when she wears a pumpkin mask.🎃Impressive eyelashes. Did you draw the apron pattern? It's elaborate.
I want to take the initiative to approach Sue and drink soup.😉I love your humorous design and stories.🙌

Oh Sue is so clever!

Good costume! Pumpkin/squash soup is delicious. Did Sue ladle soup into small lidded containers, that could be tricky.
Cute apron with embroidered hem, too.
