Sunbonnet Sue for CC on Vintage Thingie Thursday

(Please visit Suzanne at Colorado Lady for more Vintage Thingie Thursday fun!)

This weeks Vintage Thingie Thursday is in tribute to a much beloved blogger and VTT participant, CC, who passed away on Sunday, September 5th, 2010.

I am a relative newcomer to Vintage Thingie Thursday but I immediately felt drawn to CC because she loved Sunbonnet Sue and quilting as much as my dear mother did. (You may read CC's family post on her blog here.)


My mother and I both loved dollhouses, miniatures and quilting and we loved to go to Miniature Shows and Quilt shows together.

This VTT, I am sharing a miniature Sunbonnet Sue quilt (and shams!) that my mother made for her dollhouse bed in the early 70's. I don't have a dollhouse bed to show it off and try as I might, I couldn't get a good picture WAH!

In remembrance of CC, I'm posting this Sunbonnet Sue love and sending out wishes for comfort and peace to her family.
