As a fundraising initiative we have a Block Lotto every term organized by our local PFAFF dealer and after the first meeting we were instructed to make Sunbonnet Sue blocks. Way back in 2005 I saw a beautiful Sunbonnet Sue quilt on the cover of a magazine and knew that someday I’d like to make myself one. I think what kept me from doing it, was having to make the same pattern over and over, so when this competition was launched I entered 4 blocks rather convinced that I would win. Ha-ha wishful thinking!!
There were 33 blocks entered – actually slightly more but some blocks were disqualified due to not adhering to the specifications – and when Marie, our local PFAFF dealer, drew the lucky winner it turned out to be a former friend of mine, Elsie van der Bijl. I say former, because I don’t like her much after winning the prize that I wanted. Here she receives her blocks from Marie.
Here are a couple of the blocks entered, packed out right under my nose. How spiteful can one be?
Does she not look like a cat that discovered cream?
Okay, so I'll be trying my luck next time.
