I'm sure we've all seen the many variations on Sunbonnet Sue and Overall Sam, but this was a new one for me. 9 different "Sues" from 9 different countries in traditional dress. So cute!
Native American.
Scotland (I think it's my favorite because of the kilt, and my Scottish heritage)
Mexico? She's holding a parrot in her arms.
France (because of the paint pallet)
Africa, love her headress
Japan
Egypt. Sara said she was holding a snake, but she didn't like that, so changed it to an ankh. Much better.
Australia, gotta love the boomerang.
And Canada.
I used to have a copy of two books. "Stash Envy" and "That Dorky Homemade Look." I believe it was Stash Envy where the author talked about Sunbonnet Sue, and wondered what she was hiding. Was she really a space alien? If anyone has a copy of either of these books, I'd love to borrow them if you've got a copy. The library doesn't, I tried. If you haven't read them, check them out. They are laugh out loud funny. Especially if you're a quilter.
