I love Sun Bonnet Sue. I love embroidery.
I found a pattern for Bonnie Bonnet, which is Sun Bonnet Sue under a different name.
It was an iron on pattern. I like those because I can put them on anything. This one being the first I have done in years (I think I was pregnant with my now 24 year old son last time....) I chose to try her on a piece of scrap linen. That way I can figure out what to do with her later.
Well I finished her on Sunday. I was resting on Sunday it had been a hard week for me. We watched football (congrats to Saints and Colts! I really am looking forward to this superbowl. Though I like both teams so am not sure yet who I will root for) And I finished her.
Now, I changed my mind on colors a few times, and ripped out everything and began again (I almost felt like old Finnigan). The thread knotted a few times, more ripping tying off and beginning.
Finally she is done. She looks like a beginner, and since I began her so many times I guess that is no real shock.
Anyway with out further meandering adieux here is Bonnie:
Mel, she's adorable! My mother has a quilt that her mom/aunts made, all Sunbonnet Sue. I'll see if I can get a picture of it. :)
