And more catch-up

October 23, 2008 by Denise Felton 1 Comment

Goodness! I hate it that so many giveaways and other juicy bits slipped by while my blog reader had amnesia. But there are some posts with info that doesn’t go out of style in a month. Like these:

(1) CC of Lace ‘n’ Ribbon Roses blog shared a pattern of wee Sunbonnet Sues playing Ring Around the Rosie.

(2) Jennifer of CraftSanity gave us an update on the art quilt project at Posted Stitches.

(3) Mishka of Quilting Gallery pointed us to Jacquie’s tutorial for wonky log-cabin blocks.

(4) Bobby of Robyne Melia is Bobby La blog pointed us to the remarkable fabric art dolls of karna1268.

(5) Rubi of stitch spectacular blog introduced us to the astonishing work of Grace Lister.

(6) Judy Laquidara of Patchwork Times showed us a nifty gadget for quilting circles.

(7) Connie G. Thomas of About.com thoroughly explained options for securing floss to a cross-stitch work without using knots.

(8) Mary Ray of CraftStylish showed us how to use a loop turner.

(9) Ayumills of Pink Penguin blog gave us a tutorial for making a reversible patchwork bag.

(10) Nicole of Sister’s Choice Quilts shares her technique for “assembly line piecing.”

That brings me up to October 1. You know I’m still stepping over some great posts, but I’ll squeeze in everything I can over the next week or so.

Sunbonnet Sue is a classic embroidery pattern that has been around since the late 19th century. It features a young girl wearing a bonnet and dress, holding a basket or umbrella.

The pattern was first created by Ella J. Sperry, a popular embroidery artist of the time. The pattern quickly became popular and was used by many embroiderers to decorate quilts, clothing, and other items.

Today, Sunbonnet Sue is still popular among embroiderers and quilters, and there are many free patterns available online. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced embroiderer, Sunbonnet Sue is a great pattern to start with – it’s easy to learn and can be adapted to suit any skill level. So if you’re looking for a classic pattern to get started with, Sunbonnet Sue is it!
