Kitchen Towels Headed Down Under

Sunbonnet Sue with Cats Kitchen Towels Headed Down Under

You have probably heard of the traditional Sunbonnet Sue quilt with a little girl in a gardening hat and long dress, a favorite applique pattern from mid-Century. I know you know about cats so this custom kitchen towel set combined both into different scenes, one for each day of the week.

When the kitchen towel set sold, it was now my job to decide which of the seven custom hand-embroidered kitchen towels would get our label.

At first I thought I would sew the label into this scene where Sunbonnet Sue is picking up one of the cats.

Then I thought I should pick another scene where Sunbonnet Sue is walking while she carries a basket of apples. This set is headed to Australia so maybe a travel theme was more appropriate than playing with cats.

Finally a decision, and a new maker label was sewn onto the back of the custom kitchen towel.

Can you guess which of the seven days of the week Sunbonnet Sue with Cats kitchen towels I selected?

Here’s a hint, it’s the one where I felt I could sew on the label without feline interruption!!
