Sunbonnet Sue
Stephanie Davison is in search of her lost Sunbonnet Sue quilt. In June 1975 they moved from a rental home in Brent, Alabama to an apartment in Birmingham, Alabama. This quilt and a tin of old buttons were in an old wooden trunk that was left behind. Months later when they went back to search for this trunk, everything was gone.
The quilt was made for Stephanie when she was a young girl. It was made from aprons, dresses and "pedal-pushers" that her mother and she had owned. The quilt also contained feed sack fabrics. The quilt was a Sunbonnet Sue pattern, but it was different because the bonnet did not completely cover her face. Stephanie does not remember if the quilt was labeled, but she knows it was made by Mrs. Cruce.
