I am so excited to have finished this project. It's been in the works for at least 2-3 years now. I can't really say it was a UFO, because it never got started. It was more like a PIGS (project in grocery sack)! I just kept collecting and collecting fabrics! With the Nancy Drew blog hop over, it came to the top of my "to-do" list again. Remember my "Get a Clue Sue" quilt. Well, Sue came from the International Sue book. Look familiar? Never has my sewing room looked like such a disaster, while creating this adorable quilt! At least, since I gave up paper scrapbooking! With so many fabrics in it, I had bits and pieces all over the place. I am so glad I hoarded those scraps over the years! LOL!! Here is a peak at the others... Kind of fun little ones aren't they? Each block is a 8"x10" square I chose to put mine together as a quilt as you go. My pile of batting scraps had started to grow out of control, and this was the best way to tame it. I also chose to use a variety of white and cream backgrounds. Since this really was a "use up those scraps" quilt. I even managed to just squeak out enough fabric for the front and the back from stash. Leftovers from projects of days past. So, I deem this my "freebie" quilt. Nothing purchased for it, and I have managed to de-stash a bit, which makes for a very happy quilter here! It makes me smile from ear to ear, every time I look at it! Hummm... Wonder which UFO or PIGS, I should start next???? :-)

I'm pretty surprised I've never made a stocking out of a vintage quilt before, because it seems like something that would be right up my alley. When I was thinking about what kind of stocking I wanted to make for Cirilia, who is my son's girlfriend, I initially thought I might try knitting, since

Some sights from the Pennsylvania National Quilt Extravaganza going on this weekend near Valley Forge, PA. The show quilts were of the best quality as a whole that I've seen in a while! Beautiful reproduction fabrics Creativity galore. This is Sunbonnet Sue does Hollywood. Even if you're not a fan of Sunbonnet Sue quilts, this was just too much. You couldn't look at it and not have a good chuckle :) Every block was a scene from a different movie :) There were antiques. I had to take a shot of a Baltimore Applique quilt. Hoffman challenge garments. One was more fascinating than the next. What more can be said. Just awe inspiring. Enjoy the day, ~ Dawn

The universal appeal of children busy at work and at play was captured by the illustrator Kate Greenaway at the turn of the century. Her designs in books and magazines brought these fanciful children into homes around the country. It was another artist, Bertha Corbett, who christened them with the name Sunbonnet, and declared that it wasn't necessary to show the face when displaying emotions. She illustrated the book, Sunbonnet Babies, which became the basis for the idea that quiltmakers now recognize. TOP TIP: Did you know that Eleanor Burns has a YouTube quilting program?

Every one of these patterns needed to be completely redrawn. I enjoy the process but it's slow -- each design takes 30-45 minutes. Unfortunately, I only managed to get four done for this post, but the other three will appear next week. There are many other Sunbonnet patterns in earlier posts:
