Janet Shurts created an older Sue.
She is wearing purple and is modeled after this poem:

I Shall Wear Purple
When I am an old woman, I shall wear purple
With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me ... *

Sunbonnet Sue Goes Swimming
This sunbonnet is not following the rules. At least she left her hat on!

This block was sewn by Sue Cunningham from Texas. Sue passed away in February 1999 and her humor, friendship and good wishes will be missed.

Sue Loses her Head
Peggy from Singapore created this headless Sue. Her rendition of this block for a Halloween swap is what started this whole thing!

Sunbonnet Sue as Lizzie Bordon

This block was sewn by Joanne in Oregon at Patchwork Acres. She writes:

My Sue is a representation of a woman named Lizzie Borden who was accused of killing her father and step mother with an axe. This all happened in Fall River, Massachusetts, in 1892. After a sensational trial she was acquitted in June 1893. The crime was never solved.

I used dark somber colors to represent the time and mood.

Sue Reads Playgirl
Janetta created this Block. She writes:

I had several ideas, but only time to execute one...Sue reading Playgirl magazine!

My other ideas were Sue doing phone sex or cyber sex! Sue stealing Girl Scout cookies, or Sue topless at the beach!
