quiltee	Posted - Apr 29 2015 : 8:51:19 PM I'm having fun hosting swaps and here is a fun "let's get ready for the summer sun" swap. We've made our aprons and clothespin bags and now we need a sunbonnet to keep the sun off our heads when we are hanging clothes out on the clothesline. Everyone who signs up will make a sunbonnet for their partner. Tucks are welcome but not necessary. There is enough time that everyone who signs up can go ahead and make their bonnet and have it ready to send out. Signups end: May 30 Send-out date: June 15 Signups: NOTE: Your SEND TO Partner is NOT the same as the one who will send a bonnet to YOU! Please contact your swap partner to get THEIR address! quiltee (Linda) send to Proseharley (Rose) MossHillFarmMomma (Jennifer) send to forgetmenot (Judith) Debi Carr (Deborah) send to MossHillFarmMomma (Jennifer) forgetmenot (Judith) send to TexasGran (Marilyn) AFinkberry (Ally) send to Debi Carr (Deborah) TexasGran (Marilyn) send to quiltee (Linda) Proseharley (Rose) send to AFinkberry (Ally) Here are some links for patterns that I have found: Sunbonnet patterns http://tipnut.com/projectfiles/apronbonnetpattern.pdf http://tipnut.com/sunbonnet-pattern/ http://www.motherearthnews.com/diy/how-to-make-a-sunbonnet-zmaz78jazbur.aspx http://howtodresslikeapioneer.blogspot.com/2010/07/godeys-ladys-book-1857-sun-bonnet.html http://givenmoments.blogspot.com/2008/01/bonnet-tutorial.html http://sunbonnetsue.com/april2001.html not my favorite https://search.yahoo.com/search?fr=mcafee&type=B211US0D20140305&p=old+fashioned+sun+bonnet+pattern NEW http://howtodresslikeapioneer.blogspot.com/2010/01/bonnet-tutorial.html (and go to Free Patterns here for more) NEW Ideas on Pinterest https://www.pinterest.com/search/pins/?q=farmgirl%20sunbonnets And just for fun (and not a part of the swap) is a Sunbonnet sewing case pattern. http://tipnut.com/projectfiles/Sunbonnet-SewingCase.pdf I hope you will join in.

Littleredd	Posted - Aug 05 2015 : 09:07:22 AM This sounds so adorable! I hope you do it again. I'm a little concerned though since I am a beginner at sewing. I'll give it a shot though.

MossHillFarmMomma	Posted - Jun 24 2015 : 09:56:56 AM Debi Yes I received my awesome bonnet, and hat, and scarf!!!! Thank you for such an awesome swap! The red is a perfect color! Jennifer Pierson Sister #6269
quiltee	Posted - Jun 23 2015 : 5:18:44 PM Very nice bonnet. If there is anyone who has not yet received their bonnet, please let me know. Thanks, all Farmgirl hugs, Linda O Lone Oak, TX Farmgirl #1919 "Women are Angels, and when someone breaks our wings, we simply continue to fly . . . on a broomstick - we're flexible, like that."
forgetmenot	Posted - Jun 23 2015 : 5:12:01 PM Thank you, Jennifer, for the lovely sunbonnet and tucks! You chose the pattern that I almost made: but I chose another because it looked easier. Thank you, too for a copy of the pattern, several flavors of tea. (which I love! Yum!) and a sweet handkerchief! Did you know I collect them! Blue is also one of my favorite colors. My favorite second youngest grand-daughter, Brooklyn, is modeling the sunbonnet which turns into an apron or clothespin bag! (Taa-daa!) Orange is also one of my favorite colors. I wore it all the time growing up and decorate with it now. Thank you again for the sweet sunbonnet and your efforts! Thank you, Linda, for hosting this.

Debi Carr	Posted - Jun 13 2015 : 3:51:28 PM Jennifer, Your Sunbonnet package is on its way . Farmgirl Hugs, Debi Farmgirl Sister #1983 www.etsy.com/shop/farmgirlrummageshop
TexasGran	Posted - Jun 11 2015 : 7:26:05 PM Judith, I think you and Linda are very smart, and no it is not stalking. I can tell you put a lot of thought and effort into your package. I had that wonderful tea this afternoon. I have never had a sweet herb tea before, it was very good. Thanks. TexasGran #6389 Let God's light shine through you every day.
forgetmenot	Posted - Jun 11 2015 : 4:51:34 PM Awww, Marilyn! You took a great selfie! I'm so happy to see you in my/your bonnet! I'm happy also, to hear you liked it and the tucks. You just never know..confession...I looked into the kind of swaps you take part in. Is that stalking? Yikes! This was a fun and nerve wracking swap to take part in. Thanks for all your help, Linda!

TexasGran	Posted - Jun 11 2015 : 2:28:02 PM Oh, and one more thank you to Judith. You showed me how to do tucks. I was wandering about in the dark. Thanks. TexasGran #6389 Let God's light shine through you every day.
TexasGran	Posted - Jun 11 2015 : 2:24:25 PM Sorry for a terrible SELFIE, wind blown, no makeup, etc. just me. TexasGran #6389 Let God's light shine through you every day.
TexasGran	Posted - Jun 11 2015 : 2:23:04 PM Hey, it worked! Now I will try for another. TexasGran #6389 Let God's light shine through you every day.
TexasGran	Posted - Jun 11 2015 : 2:20:49 PM I have tried. Our land line is down. We have WiFi. I took the photos with my iPad. But it is not picking up WiFi. I took them with my phone too, and my Kindle. Problem is loads are super slow today. Ok that is not a picture. TexasGran #6389 Let God's light shine through you every day.
quiltee	Posted - Jun 11 2015 : 2:02:35 PM WOW! Sounds like you made a haul, Marilyn. Can you please post a picture of the sunbonnet?
