Name of Maker: Sue Parker
Around the block with Sunbonnet Sue - I used Christmas collection of fabrics with addition fabrics to make a 12 block lap size quilt.
On the focus blocks I machine embroidered Sunbonnet Sue redwork from designsbyjuju.com with a matching burgandy thread.
I quilted it using meandering with gold emboidery thread which brought out the gold in the quilt.
It really turned out pretty. I did not prewash the fabrics except for the embroidered focus blocks. I washed the quilt after quilting it which gave it an antique look. I gave it to my mom for both her 71st birthday. I think she likes it pretty good. She is an avid quilter also, as was her mom. Both of my sisters are also quilters. And by the way so was my dad's mother, Grandma Lucy. I guess you could say it's a family tradition. Oh yeah, my daughter has made a quilt too.
