Superior #183 Sunbonnet Sue Hot Iron Transfer Designs .... Hand Embroidery or Redwork

It's that special vintage time again. Ohh,I do so love this event..and I so love visiting around and seeing all the vintage pretties that everyone shows.
Come join in the fun with the vintage ladies and our own lovely and gracious hostess,Suzanne. Just click on ColoradoLady and see all the sweet participants. I promise you..you will have so much fun and meet so many wonderful people,you'll join in each week.
Thank you Suzanne,for gathering us together again to show our vintage pretties.
We love you and we appreciate you..
This will be the first in a little series of our girl, Sunbonnet Sue. We find her trying to take a tea break,from her chores around the house..She seems to be having a bit of trouble..seems little puppy wants some attention. She's having a hard time balancing the teapot and tea tray.whilst whistling her way along, so watch out little puppy else you'll have a tea cup on your head.
There are 6 little patterns to share...and insofar as I can determine,they are from the 50's.. I so hope that makes them vintage. Each Thursday,I will post another of the little series of patterns, till you have the whole collection.
This little embroidery packet was intended for hand embroidery on kitchen towels or linens.I think they would be equally as cute in redwork or bluework, as they would with the various colors.
It's made by Superior Hot Iron Transfer

  7. Cute pattern. I have a question. In the Sunbonnet Sue's you have on the top of your page is there an orginal color for her clothes and hat etc. Year and years back, hey I'm getting old lol. I remember my daughter getting a book from the library and her clothes were blue. I barely remember but it was a story about how she came through the mirror to be a friend to a little girl. I can't remember the rest of the story but it was a beautiful story.

  11. Linda..
    So far as I know, there was no particular set color that Sue has been. I think,according to the little book or the story..that the author would have chosen the color of their choice...because I've seen some really early Sues..and they're all manners of patterns and colors.
    My personal favorite Sue is the type in my header..I love these sweet Sues
    the best.

  17. What a sweet pattern that is! I've made up my mind that this next fall and winter I'm going to take up embroidery again. I've always wanted to try some redwork, and your blog will definitely be a source of inspiration for me then!
    Happy VTT!

  18. Thank you for sharing your patterns, but I will have to leave Sun Bonnet Sue with you. My handwork is over at this point in my life. However, I still enjoy seeing what others do. Take care my friend.

  19. That would be "sew" cute done in redwork. I found some unfinished cross stitch pieces at the church sale for a $.10 a piece that I will be posting. I am addicted to thrift shopping. It is so much cheap fun. Thanks for stopping by for a visit. I always love the company. Too bad we all couldn't plan a road trip. We could call it The Thrifting Adventure.

    Have a wonderful day!
