This is one of my favorites to sing with little children

I used the block from the library for Humpty Dumpty.
For the men and horses, I traced photos in patchdraw.

Ridgefield, NJ

Quilt designed for my niece Savannah using Appliqué motif from the EQ Library as center square.

Ridgefield, NJ

Slight re-working of the Nursery Rhyme "Sing A Song Of Six Pence" . Same basic quilt layout - here the center Appliqué square uses a bird motif from the EQ Library combined with elements designed in PatchDraw. The row of blocks surrounding the center contains Birds In the Air blocks at each corner.

Bradenton, FL

"Three Little Kittens have lost their mittens and they began to cry ...
.... mother dear, we have found our mittens. Then you shall have some pie!..."

This is a combination of EQ blocks, some self-designed blocks, and the letters are the Ravie font swap that EQ hosted a few years ago.

I found this nursery rhyme and immediately saw embroidery possibilities. The colors seemed to have a life of their own and although I tried brighter primary colors I kept going back to the tropical sky and water colors. The nursery rhyme is as follows:
There was a little turtle, who lived in a box.
He swam in the puddles and he climbed on the rocks.
He snapped at a mosquito, he snapped at a flea,
He snapped at a minnow and he snapped at me.
He caught the mosquito, he caught the flea,
He caught the minnow, but he didn't catch me!

I used a horizontal Quiltlayout with an Applecoreblock from the EQ Block Base and a virtual Border.The applications are drawn as Patchdraw Motifs and set on Layer 2

Greeting Ulla

Three little kittens they lost their mittens, and they began to cry,
"Oh mother dear, we sadly fear that we have lost our mittens."
"What! Lost your mittens, you naughty kittens!
Then you shall have no pie."
"Meeow, meeow, meeow, now we shall have no pie."
The three little kittens they found their mittens,
And they began to cry,
"Oh mother dear, see here, see here
For we have found our mittens."
"Put on your mittens, you silly kittens
And you shall have some pie"
"Meeow, meeow, meeow,
Now let us have some pie."
The three little kittens put on their mittens
And soon ate up the pie,
"Oh mother dear, we greatly fear
That we have soiled our mittens."
"What! soiled you mittens, you naughty kittens!"
Then they began to cry, "Meeow, meeow, meeow"
Then they began to sigh.
The three little kittens they washed their mittens
And hung them out to dry,
"Oh mother dear, do you not hear
That we have washed our mittens."
"What! washed your mittens, you are good kittens."
But I smell a rat close by,
"Meeow, meeow, meeow" we smell a rat close by...
