The short story is that you are to post a picture of a special quilt and tell a little bit about it.
So here's mine:
Sunbonnet Sue is the reason I learned to quilt. I so wanted to make this quilt. But when I learned to quilt, I learned that I did not have a gift for applique. So the idea went back on the shelf. Over a period of five or so years I made lots of quilts. Once I got to feeling comfortable I decided it was time to try again. But this time I had an ace in the hole. Fusible web!! Fusible web is my answer to needle turn applique. I did a few small applique projects - mainly centers for round robin quilts. And when I felt comfortable I did this quilt. The fun thing was using the different fabrics. I can get easily bored doing the same block over and over.
I love naming my quilts. Not long after I started quilting I learned that some people name their quilts and I thought it was a great idea. Coming up with an appropriate name isn't always easy. But this one was - I named it Dreams Do Come True.
Hugs and Stitches, Jody

I love your Sunbonnet Sue Quilt. I think I need me some fusible web. I like the name, too, Dreams Do Come True.
Such a lovely quilt! Thanks for sharing your sweet quilt.
I'm totally with you on the naming of quilts. Sometimes the name doesn't come to me until I'm sewing on the binding, but then I make up a quilt label and place it on the back. I love the name of this one, and great idea to put our more modern quilty helps into service. I'm about ready to dive into Bunny Tales applique blocks and I think I'm definately going to go that way.
I love your Sunbonnet Sue quilt--kudos to you for getting it done!
