China Sue and Sam

The international travels continue...

This Sue complete with her panda

and this bright and cheery Sam...

joined the group this week.

It is really fun to see them start coming together.

I've got all my background blocks complete and numbered.

I spent a LOT of time arranging these blocks. Whew what a chore.

Makes me wish I had a much bigger design wall and didn't have

to crawl around on the floor!

LOL!!

You can join us in this adventure. All the information you need is

April Sue...Stormy Weather

 It's not April as we all know, but if this Sue doesn't take you right back to those days of cool weather and rain...

:-)

I've been so privileged to pattern test for Kathie over at Prairie Cottage Corner. Each and every Sue has been just delightful to bring to life, but there is something about Ms April, that puts a smile from ear to ear on my face.

 Complete with raindrops fall on her head!

And don't you love her little dog and his raincoat?

 This little one was just so much fun to quilt!

I do think that the greatest thing about pattern testing these adorable little girls, is that Kathie has such an incredible eye for color. She has pushed me out of my comfort zone and allowed me to see things that were... off my radar, so to speak.  I am loving each and every minute of it!

These little banners are about 32" square. A quick and easy little project, that gives you a great canvas to play to your hearts content.

You can see more of  "April Sue", and all the others over at Prairie Cottage Corner

                    

Sun Bonnet Sue

I got to play with more Sun Bonnet Sues, for Prairie Cottage Corner recently.

First off... Patriotic Sue

 

Does she just make your heart sing.

I LOVE the flag corner stones!

 

Patriotic Sue and her little dog too!

Next up...

Christmas in July!

Yep it's still July for a few more days.

Now if I tell you she is so "stinkin" cute, you do know I mean that in the best of ways!

This one just makes my heart sing!

 

The fabrics that Kathie picked out are just incredible.

So bright and so perfect! 

 It's all about the texture with us quilters.

Here's a peek at the back.

Fun huh?

When I sent this back to Kathie, I told her these trees were screaming for embellishing.

You will have to visit her blog to see what they have done!

SunBonnet Sue-January Banner

 

You whoo...

Do you Sue?

Well if you do, Prairie Cottage Corner has the Sue for you!

I have be fortunate enough to be chosen to test out patterns for them.

Kathie has designed an entire year of banners for Sue.

Each banner is 32" square.

Kathie does hand applique, Joan does not!  LOL!

But I convinced her to give me a shot with my fusible.

So no matter what your preference is...

January

Just makes you heart happy, doesn't it!
