Building a stitchery (and a little competition)...

I'm working on one of the new August designs for The Stitchery Club.

It began with green...






....and moved on to a pop of rusty red.









Tomorrow I'll introduce another hue, maybe a softer rusty tone.

I'm glad to have plenty of August designs to stitch. Blossom is having a lot of Braxton Hicks contractions so things are on the move and I need my mind and hands to be occupied while we wait for 'that' call.

How about we have some fun while I wait?

Blossom's having a baby girl. 
What name do you think she and her DB have chosen for their soon to arrive daughter? If anyone guesses correctly I'll send you some fabric and thread after she's born and her name has been confirmed, okay?
(you can only leave one name in your comment)

hugs

I have no imagination, they say, and I can't think of a possible name. But I wanted to stop by and leave a comment on the sweet stitchery! Love it!

God's angels have been around Blossom and this baby since conception and everything they have been through. Angel would be a perfect name for her.

Nina grimslid said...

Hello from Norway :)
I think Blossom will name her baby girl Pearl.

Unknown said...

I think it may be Pearl.

momid5 said...

I think it could be Pricila Jen (PJ for quick)

LJ said...

I'm going with Jennifer, after grandma.

Jeanne said...

I think it's Belle or Bella.

Here, people often use a grandparent's name as a middle name. I'm thinking maybe Erin Jennifer ___. I love the stitchery! Jenny, I do not ever see how you come up with so much beauty in your stitcheries. You have a style, but every one seems different and fresh, and so, so lovely. I am going to really enjoy stitching this one, maybe on a pillow cover. Here's hoping the call comes right on time. =)

Maureen said...

I think she will name her rose!

Brenda said...

Good Morning Jenny! I enjoy the sneak peeks that you give us on the projects you are creating. Your hand embroidery stitches and designs always bring smiles and happy thoughts. I hope that your stitching helps to calm you as Blossom and the Grandbaby are beginning the journey.

I am going to go with Esther because this precious life has been strong and a fighter from the beginning. Her life is going to make a huge difference!

Have a fantastic creative day!

Winter :)

Janice said...

I don't know why but the name Sadie came immediately to mind. Hope you are feeling better and everything goes well for Blossom and the baby.

lisa said...

I think the name will be Broide.
Love your stitchery work everything you touch is perfectly lovely.

Kathleen said...

Lily

Little Quiltsong said...

Beautiful stitchery. Love the green and then the pop of color.
The name Hannah comes to mind for Bonnie's wee little one.

Debby said...

My vote is Lily.

Unknown said...

From all your blogs I think Faith would be appropriate. I'm sure whatever she picks will be just right

Susan said...

I really don't have a clue. I could say Jennifer after her grandmother. But since she is Blossom, maybe she will name her Flower. Others have already said, Angel(a), Faith, Rose, Lily. Along the flower line for names I was thinking Violet or Petunia. A young woman in my church called her daughter Nevaeh. Another lady called her first daughter Hypatia. One of my sister-in-laws called her first daughter Sharon and the last two, Blessing and Majesty.

Susan said...

I'll go for Grace

(tough question)

jangunter@live.com said...

Pearl is my guess to! Love the new beauties you are working on!

Anna said...

Ella would be my guess (wishing Blossom all the very best) xx

Sheri said...

My guess is Summer Rose.

sandra said...

i am going for Daisy.

Janelle said...

It's going to be Pearl!

millygit said...

I am going to say Allegra

Ondrea said...

Love your stitchery. Hmmm, no idea about the name but I know that Angel would be perfect for a child with a mum like Blossom. I guess the names Angela and Angelica are based on this.

Unknown said...

Faith

Anonymous said...

Like a few others, I am guessing Pearl.

Cindy in NC

Chris Royal said...

I'm guessing Bella.

Allie-oops Designs said...

Lovely, lovely stitching my dear!

Maryannep said...

How about Jasmine Rose?? First name that popped into my head

Ellen Easter said...

I am thinking Hope and I hope everything goes well

Pam said...

Perhaps she will be a little Birdie

Unknown said...

Amber-Rose

buffy said...

Anorina @SameliasMum said...

Amelia 🎉😉

Jude said...

Gorgeous pattern and stitching emerging Jenny, ooow exciting time, close now hope Blossom and yourself enjoying better health. Name, that is hard one, many oldies making resurgence, wow how popular is Pearl in the list and Rose, how about Ashley, was going to say Asha but that is close to your Aisha, can't stop at one, Elsa, Laura or Olivia, Emma, Emily or perhaps Cate or Jade, or Grace, best stop there and sending wishes for all the best to Blossom and yourself and good to hear about your wonderful time up the mountain with special friends.
Hugs, Judithann:-),

Little Penpen said...

Poppy ; I know she will have an adorable little name!

Unknown said...

I'm going to nominate Martha. And I love your latest pattern Jennifer - that shade of green is lovely

Ladyfée said...

hello Jenny ! Le mois d août va etre superbe, j adore ! Le prénom de votre petite fille? c est très difficile, je ne vous connais pas depuis longtemps, Mais ce sera surement un prénom doux comme vos broderie, moi j aime bien Rose..... Mais il y en a tellement d autres....! hugs. Martine

Agneta said...

I think Poppy

Karen B. said...

Oh Jenny,
it is so beautiful! The only thing I could say when I say it was ... oh my god, I love it! One day I will have to try and stitch one of your stunning designs.

I hope you are feeling much better again these days and life is being kind to you and yours.

Many hugs,
Karen B. ~ Todolwen

Alcea Rosea 31 said...

My favourite Poppy, has gone, so I'll say Serena. Your designs are beautiful.

Melody said...

So beautiful Jenny

Melody said...

Ps I'm hoping she is Melody

Robin in New Jersey said...

Grace is my guess.

Judi Smith said...

My daughter's name is Sarah Grace, after my grandmother Naomi Grace, so of course I love the name Grace.

JudiH said...

I think Blossom will name her baby Pearl and maybe Elizabeth as a second name. I think Pearl Elizabeth sound lovely.

Createology said...

Loving this sweet Stitchery. I cannot guess a name for Blossom's Baby Girl because names are so very special and personal. When I gave birth to my one and only daughter I chose her name and everyone around me kept telling me how awful it was and how everyone would call her Jenny...like a mule or donkey. I stayed strong and she has never ever been called Jenny. I named her Jenifer Michelle and I still love her name and her even as she turns 49 this August 7th. Blessings to Blossom and Baby and you Jenny Dear...

Christine M said...

Not long now. My guess is Rose or Rosie. Whatever Blossom and her DB choose will be lovely, I'm sure.

Baa. xxx said...

Beautiful pattern Jenny. So awesome that you will soon be seeing a new grandchild. I am going for Gracie. A beautiful name and meaning. Blessings.

Thoeria said...

This is such a lovely design, Jenny....but then all your work is just lovely!! I especially love those cute little lady bugs!!
I actually think Jennifer Rose would be a beautiful name :) But whatever she's named I'm pretty sure she's going to be a blessing to her family x

inmysearchfortruth said...

Oh I love your designs so much, they are so original, fresh and pretty. Too beautiful. I have been following your beloved Blossom's journey and I feel that her darling will be a Fleur. God bless you all.

Linda said...

I think "Daisy" would be an adorable name for Blossom's baby girl!! I'm praying all goes well with the birth.

Anonymous said...

I was going to say Rose as well so will stick with that. Hope all goes well for her. Can't wait to see her and I bet you are so excited!
Love Alison

Michelle said...

Did she choose Heather?

shirley flavell said...

I think Poppy Eliza would be a beautiful name. Best wishes to Blossom. Love your stitchery Jenny.

CalamityJr said...

I wish I'd gotten here sooner, but the name I had chosen before reading the comments before mine is Faith. I'm sure their choice is beautiful. Love your new designs!

Martha Roberts said...

Love your colors on your stitchery. I think Ella Grace would be a lovely name for Blossom's little one. Can't wait for the news she has arrived!

teddieturtle said...

Hi
I think Blossom will call her precious bundle of joy - Faith.
Good luck to everyone at this great time of happiness.

Jude said...

Hi Jenny, I didn't enter the name competition, names kept coming to mind and just thought of Ruby, excited to hear when baby arrives and hear of the beautiful name given her, wonder if anyone will have guessed it, though so many to choose from often comes down to just a chosen few, for us just the one for both girl and boy (that we both liked), (think our daughter shares same name as one of your daughter's spelt differently, with y in place of an e) Almost missed out on our boy's name as hubby's cousin had a son just prior to our daughter's arrival (lucky we had a girl first) and cousin chose same boy's name but when our own son arrived it was still our chosen name so went with it and it has only caused a problem with same surname once when both boys were attending Tafe many years ago. Fun special times ahead for you all. Wish for both yourself and Blossom back to good health by then. Hugs, Judithann :-)

Unknown said...

Jennifer Rose is my guess

Grandma Shell said...

The cyber demon ate the first part of my post! I like all of the names that have been suggested. Several of them are names of various family members! I'm partial to the name Julia as that was my mother's name so will go with that for your new granddaughter's name. It could be either Jennifer Julia or Julia Jennifer actually. I like them both! She could be JJ for a nickname.

I read in your previous post that you were up in the mountains where it was very cold and rainy. Could you please box some of that up and send it to Texas LOL We are forecast for 103F today and being in semi-arid West Texas it's almost a Chicken Little experience when water falls from the sky LOL

May God grant you a blessed day!

Marina said...

Hmm, how about Leilani

Vicky dc said...

Hola mi querida! Creo que el nombre será Bella Jennifer!
Mis oraciones para que todo salga bien!
Me encantan sus bordados uno más lindo que otro!
Cariños.Vicky

V.E. (Wales) said...

Hope Blossom and baby are in the best of health. Baby name??? Elise/Elyse,( 'pledged to God'), a pretty diminutive of Elizabeth.

Valerie said...

I have been reading your blog for quite some time! So very happy to see that you and your daughter are well and beloved baby girl will be here soon. Can't wait to see what name Blossom has chosen. My pick is Esther, a lovely Bible name, since this little girl will the the Queen of her household! God bless you and your beautiful family. ----Valerie

Sandy said...

I know it is a long shot, but my guess is "Lyric".
