Rather than make another quilt block yesterday, I decided to add text to the blocks. I just finished this Jack and Jill block which was the first one I colored/embroidered. I like the having the verses and it’s nice that most of the rhymes have four lines (although some of the blocks are going to have rather small lettering). I used a geometric font (Century Gothic) because I like the simple design, although my letters look a little primitive. Anyway, now I’m excited to add words to the other four blocks I’ve made.
UPDATE: Four more blocks with words are located here.

I am loving your Mother Goose quilt progress, the designs are just adorable. I meant to tell you the other day that I got the baby book pattern in the mail! I didn’t realize you were sending the original pattern, be still my heart! You’re too kind. I will scan each piece of the pattern to share with others, because really, it is such a great thing for a small child to own.
I got it on Tuesday, the day before my birthday, so I was extra excited about it! 🙂 I keep meaning to blog about it, have to get photos in order yet.
Take care, and thanks again! xo
Thanks, Bunny — for your nice comment about my Mother Goose quilt blocks. And I am pleased that you like the pattern for the ABC book. When my children were little, I loved to stay up late at night working on projects for them like that little book — it was so quiet!
