Looking for Sunbonnet Sue & Overall Sam Vintage

[Iris Girl]

I would love to make a Sunbonnet Sue and Overall Same dresser runner. I have collected some 30's prints. Does anyone have or know of a good vintage pattern? I have seen several but not sure which are really vintage. Some Sue have hands others not. Some Sam are facing forwards head down , some are sideways with a fishing pole. Help please I would like to make this 30's style in memory of my Mom who loved them. Thanks all

Let me know when you find it. Those two little folks were my first attempt at appliquing and I made a cradle quilt for my daughter when she was born with those guys appliqued on white squares and then sewn together. I was quilting before I knew I was quilting! So they have a bit of memory for me and I have been considering making something with them. I know they have changed in past 35 years!

Yes I have seen the modern ones but looking for vintage 30's look not quite sure which are the right ones. I will let you know or follow this thread with me and hope we get some answers.

When my granddaughters were small, I was in love whith Sunbonnet and I made two quilts for them, plus I have books I would like to be served and I would try to send any pattern you like

The vintage patterns seem to have fewer applique pieces. The 30's & 40's listed on ebay are interesting to show the style.

Yikes, yet a bargain if all that is stated is true.

I don't know how to link, but found a 1930's sunbonnet sue on freepatterns.com. It is the pattern I remember as a child. Good luck. The originals are very much like folk art with the "less is more" style.

That looks like it's 30's era. I fixed the link above in my post. Check out some of the vintage ones on ebay. There's even a pattern for Sue & overall Sam.
