LOVELY LOVELY QUILT!!! I have one of an older girl with a parasol. It has a LOT of hand stitching to make hands legs etc. I LOVE the "leaves" your ggma made at the intersections!! People back then really knew how to do those amazing little touches like that!! BY HAND, It's just amazing.
I love your Sunbonnet Sue quilt! This was a great video showing what your great grandmother made. I am presently repairing my Sunbonnet Sue quilt that my grandmother made in the 1950s. This pattern holds such sweet memoies for me.Thank you for sharing.
Oh my !! This quilt brought the tears. I had the same quilt that my mama made me, all hand applique & small hand stitched quilted. Each one was from remnants of clothes sewed for me in the summer. Miss her SO much. I wasn't interested in quilting until my mid 50's recently. Wish I had paid more attention back then 😢
Oh, wow! These comments make me so happy and sad at the same time! I love that this video brought back memories, but I am so sorry for your heartache and loss. 🥰❤️ Love to you!
Thank you for sharing this very personal quilt with us! Also don't be embarrassed about the stains. If there were no stains on such a light-colored, old quilt noone would believe you it was used and loved. Stains happen to everyone! I am so inspired to try and recreate a block like that.
I love the whole thing but especially the embroidery detail in the hats-how she has 2 half flowers at the "brim" of each hat to indicate depth. How talented she was! You must take after her!
Awww! Thank you! I guess she was a mean old lady, from what my relatives have told me. But I will be happy to take after some of that talent! LOL! I love the brims, too. So much fun!
I love your quilt I made 2 Sun Bonnet Sue quilts in the early 1990s I used Elanor Burns Quilt from Quilt in a Day The girls look just like yours I did the interface applique from her book I did trapunto and buttonhole stitch by machine The reproduction fabrics look much like what your grandmother used A very fun quilt to make You have a real treasure in yours Thanks so much for your fun videos I love seeing the old quilts
What a lovely quilt. I have seen that puffiness in quilts at craft shows before but they were more what I call picture quilts where a scene has been done with free motion quilting and the leaves on the tree were ever so slightly stuffed but I never realised it is such an old technique and used generally. I love it. The Sun bonnet Sue's are so cute. I wonder what sort of fabric it is.? It looks like a lawn fabric. I suppose they didn't have specific quilting fabric in those days. It's a very special quilt.
When I talked to my mom about this quilt, we think it was made in the 1940s and the fabrics (I believe) are cotton. Trapunto is a cool technique but the look can also come from heavy quilted areas or even extra layers of batting in an area. So glad you enjoyed watching!
Oh wow! all hand done, just stunning work. I have just warmed to the Sunbonnet Sue applique it's so pretty. I am looking at the block and wondering if they put together in a quilt as you go? so beautifully done its hard to see how this was constructed. Love it, Thank you again, I really enjoy these videos.
Thank you! It is a great quilt, isn't it? I don't think it was put together with a quilt as you go method because all of the intersections are mitered. This information ended up on the cutting room floor (so to speak) when I was editing. Good eye, though! You certainly could make this that way! :)
Oh my goodness. Looking at the flowers! I've just realised the skill and accuracy your Great Grandmother applied in quilting this work. All the hand quilting lines intersect through the middle of the trapunto. That is class.💘 That is talent. (I don't think I could do that even with a machine... 🤔 ) Thanks for this video.
I don’t think that any child is careful of things that they get when very small. I love that you can see how much you used and loved and lived with the quilt you were given
I just discovered your channel while you opened the MSQC box contents. I had to watch this one and I wish I could get that Sunbonnet Sue pattern! I would like Overall Sam too. I bought the accuquilt die and I'm disappointed in it because it's not the same...I wasted my money and they are not cheap. I made a Sunbonnet Sue and Overall Sam quilt in High School (back in the 70's) and it was all hand turn applique! I embroidered the hats but didn't do the blanket stitch or the little stitches around the shapes. Picking out the colors for the outfits was so much fun. Overall Sam's overall & hat matched her dress and his shirt matched hers. It was my first quilt and last one until the invention of the Olfa rotary cutter. That's one thing you didn't mention......no rotary cutters and it was awful cutting the borders and sashing! It wasn't too bad cutting out all the applique parts. I sent mine out to be quilted and wasn't too happy with it but I used it until it fell apart. I had a fan quilt my Grandmother made. It' was like a Dresden plate but she used 1/4 of the plate in each block's corner. It became thread bare too but I saved one block and I take it out now and then and just stare at those tiny quilted stitches. I have tried hand quilting but my stitches are not that small. I can see why someone came up with big stitch quilting!
Wow! Thank you for watching this one and for sharing! I now have 66 Lessons from an Old Quilt videos published. This was one that I recorded when I was just getting started and was pretty critical of the makers. I have since softened a lot as I learned more and more about these oldies. I am thrilled you found this one and could share your experience with the Sunbonnet Sue pattern. Thank you so much!
Hi from France :) I do Sunbonnet too and I want to know how to do the very little piece of Sunbonnet. For me it's difficult. Am I the one with this problem or it's not so easy to do ? For example, to make little shoes, little hand, little curve piece. I know the technic but when it's a little piece it's hard. Thanks... if you have a video tutorial to explain how to do that it woul be great :)
Hi! Thank you for commenting and watching! Have you tried using a fusible product to help stabilized the fabrics? There are some great ones that are wash away and allow you get the fabric stabilized while you stitch it down. if you don't want to do that way, I would suggest a good starch to help with the crispness of the small fabrics. This will wash out but can help you want appliquéing those small pieces. I hope this helps!
@@SewtheDistance Maybe it would be better. I will see with amidon. But my problem is to cut and curve and fold up. A very small little cat is complicated for me. Do you have already try this ? ears, paw, etc... it's very exhausting for me ::)
Such a beautiful quilt. Your great grandmother was so talented. Its so cool that you still have it. You must be so proud of her. Love watching your videos and especially the vintage quilts. xx🥰

You are so welcome!
You are so fortunate to have this quilt made by your great grandmother! ❤️
It really is a blessing. I have several made by her. I also have quite a few made by my paternal grandmother who passed about ten years ago. ❤️
What a treasure! It's beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
You are welcome! Love this one. Thanks for watching!
You showed the quilt love by using it! I hope everyone I gift quilts to use theirs! Thanks for sharing this quilt! It’s impressive!
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching! I just love this quilt.
Those embroidered flowers are such a special extra touch! Love it.
They are, aren't they? I love this quilt.

Thank you for your kind words! You are right! ❤️ The quilt was used and well-loved. 🥰
What a unique and special treasure. You were well loved.
It is a great quilt. I just love it. You can feel the love in it.
Loved Sunbonnet Sue”. I remember painting them onto a pillow for my girls many years ago. Very sweet quilt. Thanks Kris. 💕🇦🇺
I love that! This is one of my treasured quilts. I love everything about it! Thanks so much for sharing!
I love the whole thing but especially the embroidery detail in the hats-how she has 2 half flowers at the "brim" of each hat to indicate depth. How talented she was! You must take after her!
Awww! Thank you! I guess she was a mean old lady, from what my relatives have told me. But I will be happy to take after some of that talent! LOL! I love the brims, too. So much fun!
Beautiful quilt you’re so blessed to have it. Thank you for sharing God bless you and your family.
Thank you! You too!

Love Eleanor Burns! Isn't she great? Thank you so much for sharing! I love this one, too. Thank you for watching!
I just loved this quilt! How beautiful!! Are you going to do the repairs on it! Such a treasure!!!❤❤❤
Isn't it great? So many memories in this one. I haven't attempted repairing this one yet. I really should. Thanks for the reminder!
Beautiful
Thank you! ❤️
Trapunto is totally new to me. Great quilt!
It's a cool technique! I haven't done it yet, but it's on my quilting bucket list. :)

I also grew up with a similar quilt. It was an overall boy.
Love it! We could have been twins. ❤️
A beautiful quilt - some much time and love in each stitch. Puts me to shame!
You and me both! So glad you love it! ❤️
Oh wow! all hand done, just stunning work. I have just warmed to the Sunbonnet Sue applique it's so pretty.

@@SewtheDistance wow mitred! 💖 Thank you for your reply
It is well loved. I am sure your grandmother expected you to use it and be a normal child.
Wellllll, she didn't like people using her quilts. LOL! So was a bit cranky. ❤️
Oh my goodness. Looking at the flowers! I've just realised the skill and accuracy your Great Grandmother applied in quilting this work. All the hand quilting lines intersect through the middle of the trapunto. That is class.💘 That is talent. (I don't think I could do that even with a machine... 🤔 ) Thanks for this video.
Wasn't she talented? I am in awe of her work, every single time I look at one of her quilts (I have a few more). Thanks for watching and commenting!
I’ve learned something so I can go back to bed! 😂I had never heard of ‘trapunzo?’ Or how is it spelled?
Tarpronto! Caption helped!
Isn't it cool! I love trapunto (I think that's how it is spelled!). It is a cool technique. ❤️
Use retrowash product..greatest
I just got some! I will try it! Thanks!
Love seeing all of your old quilts and hearing their stories.
Thank you so much! I enjoy sharing them, too!
Your childhood quilt is beautiful. Yes, your great grandmother put a lot of thought into sewing and creating this quilt. What a beautiful treasure.
Thank you so much! ❤️
I don’t think that any child is careful of things that they get when very small. I love that you can see how much you used and loved and lived with the quilt you were given
Yes. I made my nephews quilts, they love them, and later they will get new ones. It's the purpose of quilts.
Yes! So true!
I love this! Quilts are meant to be loved.
