Sunbonnet Sue

There will be a prize for all Sues that are created.

She can be wild or modern, but not traditional.
She can be a feather dancer, a hippie, or as mentioned in the Sept, meeting, a motorbike rider.
You can make a quilt, wall hanging, cushion or potholder, etc.

February is the month of love, so maybe you'd like to show Sun Bonnet Sue in love.
Your quilt may be any size and will be displayed at the February Guild meeting.
