I have some of the abstract fabrics from that range (stripes and squares rather than animals) and they're great. I always do multicoloured non-gendered baby quilts and everyone's loved them so far.
We run to girls in my family. My mother is one of three girls and a boy, and so is her mother. My cousins are three of each, but if you take my aunt, she has two sons and a daughter, and has seven granddaughters with no grandsons (though one isn't biologically related so in terms of genetics, that's six granddaughters). A dietician I knew once said she's known this to happen in other families, and she reckons there may be something genetic going on which causes the male foetuses to be miscarried. I know that my mother had a lot of miscarriages, so perhaps there's something in it. At any rate, the monkey theme will workf for a girl. But she's got in mind lady bugs for a girl. If she thinks I'm going to sew for the next several months then start over the 27th of August doing all this things with lady bugs, she's got a surprise coming. tee hee |
I don't think we have a family tendency to have sex at any particular point in the ovulation cycle, but perhaps that is a factor in some other way?
How about multicoloured, including monkeys AND ladybirds? I mean, neither creature is exactly gender-specific, it's not like putting princesses on a quilt. She could be giving birth to a male future entomologist! |

My sister has two grandsons. My brother had one grandson. The only girls we've got are steps--which is good, but we don't have granddaughters of our own. Now--------the daddies determine the sex. My son in law is one of two brothers. And his dad is one of two brothers. Which would you bet on??????????????? tee hee |
Girls like monkeys too.
