Sunbonnet Sue's Make Over

Last night I worked on correcting the fuzzy shoe problem I had with the first couple of Sue's that I digitized.  Somehow I had gotten the stitches off so that the satin cover stitch did not actually cover the edge of the shoe fabric.  I also made a new version with her hand extended outward instead of down.

Sunbonnet Sue - #3

In my hunt for Sunbonnet Sue images on line I had seen several that had an apron.  Little girls at the time of Sue's creation by some awesome quilter often wore aprons over their dresses.   I thought it would be fun to try my hand at adding an apron.  I imported an image that I wanted to use and then digitized each applique and embroidery item.  The shape of the hat also changed in this newer version.

I'm happy with how she turned out, even the lace on her hat.

These Sue's were stitched on an unbleached muslin background with RinsAway water soluble tear away backing in a 5" x 7" hoop.
