Scrappy Sue

Sunbonnet Sue has taken on a new look to make a star appearance in my scrappy quilt.
 Sewing the 2 inch squares together was last year's Leader and Ender project; lately I have been sewing the skirts for Scrappy Sue as my Leader and Enders so here finally is the first complete Sue.

  Nice big pieces so the needleturning goes quite quickly - she is about 8 inches tall. Last night I added the stem and leaf - she needs a Yo-Yo flower but the button I have pinned on looks quite cute.
(Sorry the lighting in the photos is not right - first it was 'dusk' light, then early morning glare from a lightbulb!)

And while I am talking scraps :-) I didn't realise how effective flying geese made out of leftover Half Square Triangles were...
...very cute.. I feel another addiction coming on!!

Hope everyone's projects are going well,
thanks for visiting, have a great day!!
