Sun Bonnet Sue

Sun Bonnet Sue was our July quilt block. The fun of this group quilt project is that we are using techniques and block patterns we might not normally try.


Nancy's choice this month and  her completed block.



Here is my Sun Bonnet Sue!

 I had never appliqued or worked with Wonderunder iron-on stuff so, I was a little intimidated by this block. I wanted to use the black since that is my focal or background fabric, but trying to decide on her dress and hat color was the hard part. I like the way she turned out and I am still trying to think of something to embellish her block with, but I can always do that later! This weekend is the club meeting and we get our 4th block design!

Echo...echo....echo....

Anyone else have a few projects to put up here? 

Here are some items I've made over the past few months.  (I don't think any of these are already posted on this blog....)

Aren's sun visor.

A bonnet for a newborn baby girl....born in June yet I have not given it to her yet.  I don't even know if it will still fit!

Some popsicle cozies for the boys.

An owl lovey for a baby boy born mid-July.

A baby blanket I started then realized the holes were way too big and the baby would likely get his fingers and toes caught too easily.  I ripped it out.

Used that yarn to start another baby blanket and realized the yarn was too small/hook was too big for the pattern to read well.  I ripped it out. 

This is a scarf I made probably 3-4 years ago.  It was my first tunisian crochet project.  I never wore it.  I ripped it out last week so I could use it on another project.  (I haven't started that project yet.)

A cowl pattern I tested - love it!  Can't wait for cooler weather so I can wear it.  It isn't so bright in person.

Same cowl, close up.
