Slaughtering Soo of the Sun Bonnet

Thu Mar 26, 2009, 10:44 AM
yet more contemplation…hope I live long enough to accomplish all that I contemplate! Sunbonnet sue… my youngest daughter is a bit dark…not goth but dark nonetheless…when she was a wee person my mom made old fashioned sun bonnets for both my girls and they were beyond cute…I found the bonnets when searching for a chunk of my stash I knew was somewhere…and though aw my babies bonnets…looking at my girls now I think the bonnets would mortify them..thus they are on display now (HA) but I also thought hey how about a dark rather disturbing sunbonnet sue quilt… sue in a snake since I just got a new snake…sue falling off a cliff…sun going super nova baking sue…um yeah very dark…I’ve printed 12 regulation sues and will be modifying them ala pencil over the weekend to see what I can come up will…guess I’m a bit touched…

K…so a few fellow quilter’s think this is the cat’s pajamas and can’t wait to see the finish project…Other’s are disturbed verging on rather angry about it…here’s the deal…I’ve never been an average quilter, much less artist or human for that matter. I laugh at myself when I fall down… I giggle at off color jokes… I’m so outside the box it has been picked up as refuse and recycled…so when I started contemplating slaughtering Soo of the bonnet…I just saw it as yet another way to express my creativity and flamboyant eccentricness. So yeah…I’m killing of sunbonnet sue…in 16 fabulous 12-inch square blocks!

Picked up the main block fabric a lovely snotty, pus shaded, sputum with a dash of rotted flesh phlegm green and the as Jaz put it clotted blood red for the sashing.

Titles of Soo’s blocks may very well be: Snake eating Sōō, Noosed Sōō, Sun supernova Sōō, Nuclear fallout Sōō, Helmetless scooter accident Sōō, Bumblebee allergy Sōō, Drive by Sōō, Conqueror worms chewing on Sōō, Tattooed ‘bad’ Sōō, Grapefruit spoon death Sōō, Acid rain I’m melting Sōō, Wee airplane crash into Sōō’s head, Can’t swim Sōō /shark, Handgun accident Sōō, Off with her head Sōō, Squished in mosh pit Sōō…

Why did I change the spelling of Sue for my Slaughtering Soo of the Sun Bonnet Quilt?!?
Well let me tell you…my manager’s name is Sue and I really like her as a person and didn’t want to use her spelling on my rather mean hearted quilt. I have a half sister Susan and even though I haven’t seen her since I was like 12 I didn’t want to use her spelling since she is my sister…we in my family try not no name anything after anyone else unless it’s a child. My mom had gotten 2 tree frogs when I was very young and named them after me and my cousin Eric…well they both died pretty quick…really sad…then there’s the steer on the farm named Gladys…My grandma wasn’t overjoyed with his name since that name was shared with her sister…thus the changing of the spelling.
If there are any readers, quilters or blog checker outers out there named Soo…No offence intended to you…I just had to change the spelling just enough to have it still mean the same thing just a different spelling!

Other spellings of Sue I veered away from:
Sioux
Sue
Suellen
Susan
Susanna
Susannah
Susanne
Susie
Susy
Suzanne
Suzette
Suzie
Suzy

I'm 40 going on 97...less than 1/2 way done, got lots to still do!
I’m from Minnesota. I’m Swedish, Irish, a bit of German and a frappe of a few other Northern European countries. I have 2 daughters. Tabitha Ann was born in 1987. Jazmin Celiia was born in 1990. I lost my daughter Natalia Tatiana to a heart defect; hypoplastic left heart syndrom in 1989. Tabitha had my grandson sweet Oliver in 2004.

I learned how to quilt in 1990 while on bed rest trying not to have my youngest daughter Jazmin too soon. A in home nurse who helped me with my 3-year old Tabitha taught me. I made Jazmin’s bunny quilt totally by hand since sitting at my sewing machine wasn’t an option at the time. Since then I’ve made about 60 quilts of assorted sizes, mostly patchwork a few appliqué’. I work full time now, my sweet babies are adults and I’m a grandma now but the quilt bug raises its pin prickly head almost daily still. I quilt mostly for charities: God's Tiny Angels in West Virginia, Project Linus Greater Twin Cities, Heart Babies in Minneapolis, Home for the Brave, Benjamin Smiles at the Ronald McDonald House in Minneapolis...I want to give...make someone warm, comfortable, feel OK for the moment even if all around them is chaos. :) Must be a momma thing, I want everyone to be happy and OK!

I work in a small plastic injection molding plant (about 9 miles from home) as the Document Control administrator (chick) and industrial photographer. I’m also one of the ISO internal auditors. I’ve worked here since 1999. Once a month I make the company newsletter…it is ever so fun to be insanely creative!

I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in 2005 after living with the diagnosis of systemic lupus erythmatosis. It is a double edged sword to be living life like you have something when you have something totally different. they're both rather tiring, pardon the pun. I push myself to do everything I do. Laying in bed with the heating pad nearby and a few pain killers would be so nice and simple, but I have to work, have to be a mom, have to be a nana...want to be a quilter, want to be an artist. Unfortunately the quilting and creativity usually sit there and glare meanly at me when I'm just in too much pain or too tired to move. Sad to say muscle relaxers are my friend, but only in the evening after work, momma-ing, nana-ing and dutiful wife-ing are complete.

For fun my girls (when they have time, now that they are grown) and I scrap book, collage, decoupage, paint (acrylic) sketch, sculpt, well just about anything fun and crafty. We go for nature hikes throughout the year to experience the changing of the seasons and enjoy the plethora of local flora and fauna when allergies and biting insects don't stop us. I like reading true murder mysteries and anything by Stephen King and Dean Koonze. I also like watching DVDs at home, mostly mysteries, action adventure and spooky movies. When I’m left to my own devices I like CSI, Law & Order, stuff on the Discovery Channel, um, stuff along those lines. I also really like the stand up comics and The Daily Show with John Stewart! I love to laugh! In the summer the kids, mine and whose ever’s are around, make my current vehicle into an ART Car (truck, SUV, whatever) For silliness we enter it into whatever art car parade we can get to. Oh to be that flamboyant, + it seems to REALLY irritate some people for some reason… go figure!?!?!

I paint guitar bodies with all sorts of lovely abstracts, bits of surrealism in bright fabulous color...my lovely man then builds the guitars into functional instruments. One day perhaps we'll even sell a few.

I was handfasted to my sweet soul mate on the 9th of June 2007. He found me on the Internet on loveaccess.com cool huh? An Internet relationship that actually worked! We’ve been together officially since November 2006. His name’s Jim…and he’s dandy!
