See, Once upon a time ago I crowdsourced the inspiration for two gifts for friends who were having girl children. My then Boss Stephanie and my college friend Anoush. Not only did I have fun doing them, and posting the pictures, but they were so well-received that the little embroidered fabric books are now considered frickin' heirlooms and roughly equivilant to BABY BLANKETS by the families.
And what with us all doin' the social isolation and the stress and the what not.. Well, I may have half a dozen various projects goin' on, but a recent update from the Ringeisen clan facebook page has brought me to thinking about doin' another one or something similar enough.
When I say Ringeisen Clan, I really mean the assorted cousins. You see..my dad was the eldest of EIGHT CHILDREN. Every single one of which married and had on average two children. One of them proudly announced that he was expecting his firstborn child soon.
I figure I can use the same thing, with similar rules and an INFINITELY better dictionary of embroidery stitches. I think I'll do a denim baby quilt this time with 12 squares, and the last time I did the baby books, you went with one word for the theme of the page (nouns preferred for rendering) and picked three stitches to render the subject in.
The new tag is for the family I have left.
