Yes, they still are going strong!

| Sunbonnet Sue and Overall Sam Sampler Quilt |
This
popular quilt ran in the Keepsake Quilting catalog. Made with Windham Fabrics 1930s reproduction prints and solids, it was a best seller.
 |
| "Have a Heart" Sue |
The appliqué block is composed of four 8" log cabin blocks put together so that the white logs create a space for the appliqué patches. What do you think of "Have a Heart Sue"?
 |
| And there's "Have a Heart Sam" |
This is all raw edge appliqué (of course!). Sam has his ever-present hat. And then there's Overall Sam . . .

OK. Where can you get the
Sunbonnet Sue and Overall Sam pattern? At my
Craftsy store, of course!
Keepsake Quilting catalog no longer carries it. This is SO scrap buster happy. You don't need to have a stash of 1930s reproduction prints. Solids work so well for the appliqué patches.
Can we see the blocks? Ah, yes. Now it makes sense!

| Four 8" blocks together, ready for the applique patches |
The
Sunbonnet Sue and Overall Sam pattern includes all the cutting and stitching for the log cabin blocks and FULL SIZE patterns for all 9 blocks!
I have this quilt hanging in my living room and get to enjoy it every day. Hope you enjoyed the show.
Oh Debby! This quilt just made my heart beat faster when I saw it. I LOOOVE it. Sunbonnet Sue has always been my favorite pattern. Thank you for sharing your gorgeous quilt.

DeleteHello Debby! Like Joyce, I love your Sunbonnet Sue and Overall Sam Quilt! Featuring the Log Cabin Blocks in 1930's Fabrics was an excellent choice and truly makes this quilt a treasure.
