4932 - Sun Bonnet Sue Key to my Heart ($45)
Jan Stone
Josephville, MO USA
Width: 8.5" Length: 10.25"
Materials/Techniques: Cotton fabrics, raw edge applique and embellishments.
Artist's Statement: This little Sue is one from the lot of Sues I purchased at a tag sale. Three other Sues have been sent to AAQI. This Sun Bonnet Sue has more fabric stress and deterioration than any of the other Sues, so I used a variety of pink fabrics to raw edge appliqué hearts to help stabilize the dress area. Placement of the hearts was a challenge. So much of the dress area needed to be covered and yet there were some good portions of the original fabric that I wanted to show. After sever auditions I settled on what you now see. I also added some heart embellishments to the bonnet and a little key charm in her hand.

Dedication: To Mom.
This quilt is displayed with Fast Finish Triangles.
This quilt earned $45.00 for the AAQI.
