Karen's Korner: Salt & Sand Blog Hop

Monday, March 22, 2021

Since signing up for this blog hop "circumstances of life" have changed around here at the moment and sewing time has been severely limited so instead of pulling out of the hop I decided to revisit a previous item made that I think will fit in perfectly with the theme. I made a series of Sunbonnet Sue wallhangings to represent each month of the year for my granddaughter's bedroom a few years ago and the one for November was called "Seaside Sue". November is the month that we in Australia start to think about heading back to the beach as summer in only a month away.

Time to head on over to the following blogs to see more Salt and Sand.

Hope that things are soon better for you. The Sunbonnet Sue is darling. I made my granddaughter the full-size bed quilt back in 2015.

Cute little Sue.

Very cute Sue in the sand. I hope your life takes a turn for the better down and gives you time to sew again soon. Thank you for taking time to join us in the hop ... :) Pat

You found a very creative way to participate in the hop. Isn't that something quilters do most of the time? Good luck with the move. Thanks you for sharing.

Sun bonnet Sue is perfect for your Sand And Salt blog hop...

Sue by the Sea is such a sweet stitched wall hanging. How fun to have one for each month of the year. It is always fun to revisit previously made works and be reminded of the enjoyment of stitching at that time.

So glad you thought to share this great piece with us. She perfectly fits the theme. I really like the sea shells on the beach and then there is her super hat. It's all in the details. Hope life gets back on track for you soon.
Carol SwiftMarch 23, 2021 at 1:12 AM
I'm sorry you've had some life moments that stop you from sewing, but I am so grateful that you shared something for us. Your Sun Bonnet Sue is adorable and really makes me want to hit the beach soon. Thank you, Karen, and I hope life gets a little calmer for you. xo

What a lovely piece. I love the use of seaside fabrics throughout. It's funny for me to think of November as beach weather, as that's when it starts to snow for me in Canada :D.
InflorescencedesignsMarch 23, 2021 at 1:59 AM
She is a cutie. A simple change of décor like switching out a small wall hanging is my kind of decoration. Thanks for sharing.
SharonMarch 23, 2021 at 2:40 AM
Thanks for sharing your sunny beach Sue with us!
Karrin HurdMarch 23, 2021 at 2:55 AM

I'm sorry you have troubles, but I'm so glad you shared the November Sue block you made. She's adorable!

She's so cute. Warm thoughts for you from Norway.

Sue is a sweetie. Hope your packing is all going well.
Carol AndrewsMarch 23, 2021 at 12:25 PM
I’m glad you didn’t pull out of the hop. If you had we wouldn’t have seen your sweet Seaside Sunbonnet Sue. Thank you for sharing and good luck sorting real life out 😉
KathleenMarch 23, 2021 at 1:29 PM
Seaside Sue is perfect. Hope things are ok.

Sunbonnet Sue always seems to enjoy herself in any setting.
LeahMarch 24, 2021 at 1:40 AM
Love her hat! She is perfect for the Hop. Hope you get back to stitching soon!

Super cute Sue wall hanging! Thanks for sharing with the Hop!

Hope life calms down for you soon. The sweet beach ball fabric is so perfect for your Sunbonnet Sue. Cute!

I love your Sue, sending well wishes.

Sunbonnet Sue is perfect for sand and beach even though November isn't right here in the Northern Hemisphere. I have another friend in the southern hemisphere and it's such fun to see that we're just the opposite with the seasons. Get out there again before it's way too cold to enjoy!!!

Cute bathing beauty!

Awesome back up plan. The Sunbonnet Sue is cute.
LyndseyMarch 28, 2021 at 1:37 AM
The Sunbonnet Sue is really cute and I love all the fab place they visit and things they get up to. Perfect for a young girl's room.
