Thanks to Mdm Sam of Sew We Quilt and Erin of Sew At Home Mummy!
Also to our hop sponsor Fabri-Quilt!
When I started to plan my project I just kept going back to when I was little. I’d draw pictures of valleys and mountains with little flowers and grass, up in the corner I’d put a bright sun. I’m sure many of you did the same thing when you were little and know a similar memory. Well thinking about April Showers this is the memory that wouldn’t leave my mind.
So I went into my EQ 7 program and went through the different blocks and this is what I came up with.
I’d never done a Sue Bonnet before and I had so much fun making her! The whole time making her I just kept thinking “Oh…she’s so sweet”!
Now for a giveaway, an embroidery pattern called Breath of Spring by Crab-apple Hill, ……leave me a comment and I will draw a winner from the comments on April 18th. You don’t have to be a follower but if you want to follow I’d love to have you stick around. This giveaway is open to U.S. and International.

Very sweet mug rug. I just saw a pattern from Darlene Zimmerman that embroiders the top have of the sun bonnet girl, and uses a vintage hankie for her skirt. Very cute too. I started a sag many years ago, and it is still in the ufo pile at my mom's home!!
