I have been trying to get the tulip design refined. You can sort of see them at the top of the picture. I think that I need to stretch out the leaves a little bit, longer and thinner.
Pop over to Patchwork Times to see all the other great design walls.
My dear-daughter-in-law gave my daughter a beautiful, surprise baby sprinkle. My daughter didn't know that I was flying in. DDIL pulled off the surprise.
What is a baby sprinkle?, you ask. Well, a sprinkle is a party for a mommy who doesn't need a full shower. It's purpose is to acknowledge the special baby that is coming, but it's for the mommy who already has the basic baby necessities.
I don't have a good picture of the surprised guest of honor. The result of forgetting the real camera at the house, and having to use my cell phone camera.
String blocks are something on my future to do list. I love the strong colors you used.
ReplyDeleteI never heard of a baby sprinkle but love the idea!
ReplyDeleteYour string quilt is looking good!
We're doing a small 'sprinkle' for my daughter who's due in January -- and then she's doing a big Sip 'n See after the baby's born! Fun stuff this having grandbabies, isn't it?! Love your string blocks -- fun colors! :)
ReplyDeleteA baby sprinkle -- what a wonderful idea! I always thought it was a bit unfair to only have a shower for the first baby... :o)
ReplyDeleteLOVE your string block project. What a gorgeous quilt that will be!
