Nursery Rhymes I

On my list of things to accomplish this month, was a pile of machine embroidery applique blocks that have nursery rhymes on them. i have 24 blocks so i decided to make 2 quilts. this is the first one. the blocks are 12x14".  This is all flannel.

Let's see if i remember my nursery rhymes.

Rub a dub dub
3 men in a tub

that's all i know of that one.

Hey diddle, diddle
The cat and the fiddle

The cow jumped over the moon

The little dog laughed to see such sport
And the dish ran away with the spoon.

I think this is a counting rhyme but don't know it

Hickory dickory dock
The mouse ran up the clock
The clock struck one
The mouse ran down
Hickory dickory dock



Jack and Jill went up the hill
To fetch a pail of water
Jack fell down and broke his crown
And Jill came tumbling after

Jack be nimble
Jack be quick
Jack jumped over
The candlestick

Mistress Mary
Quite contrary
How does your garden grow
With blue bells
And cockle shells
And pretty maids all in a row

Old King Cole
Was a merry old soul
And a merry old soul
Was he
He called for his wife
And he called for his __?___
And he called
For his fiddlers three

Peter, Peter, pumpkin eater
Had a wife and couldn't keep her
So he put her in a pumpkin shell
And there he kept her, very well

This could be..

Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily
Life is but a dream

Or..

there is something about a man putting out to sea in a beautiful pea green boat....?  am i remembering that correctly? who knows



Sheesh, it's a wonder we all grew up 'normal' after all those strange nursery rhymes.

I have another set of 12...perhaps get those together...

tomorrow
