SUNBONNET SUE AND OVERALL SAM


Last night it took me four hours just gathering fabrics, cutting, and fusing the Sun Bonnet Sue to the background fabric.  





Haven't fused the Sams yet.



Here they are here waiting.  My Accuquilt Go made short work of cutting these out.



These are the border fabrics for these quilts.  These two are for twin boy and girl.
I purchased these fabric from Connecting Threads when they had them on sale.  I really do like their fabrics and I especially like it when I can get a good sale.



Made these bowl potholders for a friend.  You can find the patterns online for free or on craftsy.

    Great bowl potholders, which you've definitely inspired me to want to make. But such cute Sunbonnet Sue & Overall Sam applique'. I'm looking forward to seeing what you create with them. I'm sure what ever you create will be beautiful.
