100 Blocks Blog Tour

I was so excited to have my block "Holiday Sue" chosen for the Vol. 6 of Quiltmaker’s 100 Blocks Collector’s edition. Sunbonnet Sue has always been a favorite of Little Quilts. She’s featured in many of our books, and patterns. For this block, I appliquéd her using wool pieces. It’s so easy to appliqué with wool, you don’t have to needle turn the edges. I simply fused the pieces down with fusible webbing. Our favorite is Soft Fuse© by Shades Textiles, a local Marietta GA company. I had Holiday Sue carry a small tree that I stitched with the feather stitch and tiny red buttons. I was also surprised when they did a close-up of my tree stitchery on the editor’s page 4. Yikes I would have stitched better had I know it would be a close up! This block would make a cute pillow or center of a small wall hanging. Post a comment on this posting and we will do a random drawing for a Little Quilts Pattern “Friends” as well as our booklet “Wildflowers” – (by the way... both feature Sunbonnet Sue!)
