My wife has assigned me to coming up with images. I've got stuff for all the rest of the alphabet. But all I can come up with for the lifeluh me is "nose" and "nickle". There's gotta be something more appealing than either of those : ) Dean, sitting here with a mental block. |

Subject: RE: BS: Help! what noun starts with 'N'... From: frogprince Date: 02 Mar 07 - 11:34 PM We don't wanta wait till it's here to get as much done as we can, though; we've got a bunch of transfers to make and apply, besides the Mrs. stitching it up. But there is this to be said for "night": the quilt will have thirty block. (Extra "Gs" for Grandma, Grandpa, Great Grandpa, Great Aunt, and Great Uncle, the last two being us.) That will make "N" centered in the width, below the vertical center line. All the squares will be pink, baby blue, and white, unless we make just that one dark blue with stars and moon... |

Subject: RE: BS: Help! what noun starts with 'N'... From: frogprince Date: 03 Mar 07 - 12:17 AM "Nana" is for "grandma", isn't it? That would be fine if we hadn't fitted "grandma" in already. The father-to-be is imported from Cameroon; his native tongue is French. Our niece was fluent in French by the time they met. Each quilt block will have the English word, a picture, and the French translation. |
