As I mentioned in my last post, I raided the freebie/exchange pile at Celebration last week. One of the patterns I picked up was Mirabilia's "Ring Around the Rose Tree," thinking that by the end of the summer my mother might have 4 granddaughters. Of course, she might also have 3 granddaughters and a grandSON...which has led me to start thinking about how I might be able to change the pattern. (At least I won't need to add any children, as my sister will be done after this one and DH and I are not having any more either.)

So I'm thinking the little girl in the back right, the one in the pink dress, might be the easiest to change. A good bit of her lower body is hidden, she doesn't overlap any others, and her side profile means no "legs" to define. What do you think...am I crazy? (And I'm also hoping reeeeeally hard that my sister has a girl. LOL)
And now my confession. Evidently someone at Celebration got rid of ALL their Mirabilia stash. I wasn't too grabby, because I know I can't stitch all that I'd like to think I will, but in addition to Ring Around the Rose Tree I snagged "Garden Verses." When I got home and was fondling/filing all my new stash, I discovered that I already had a copy of that one! So I listed one of them on eBay. I set the opening bid at $12, because while I DID want to get a little money for it, I wasn't out to get rich. Well, it sold for almost $30! I had no idea it was such a hot commodity. Most of my stash that I've sold on eBay, I've felt lucky to get ONE bid, much less 5 or 6.

Wow it's a pretty pattern and it's a good idea to change the girl and the boy will look cute there ..I think it's so cute
Big hugs and love x
It looks like you picked up some nice patterns. I can see what you mean about the one being the easiest to change to a boy if needed. Enjoy your stitching!
Adorable! If you have to change it, that does seem like the easiest one to do.
