Julies Name Game - New Free Motion Quilting Design #385

New Free Motion Quilting Design #385 "Fluer de Leaf"

This week’s new, Free Motion Quilting design has been named.

The winning name was chosen by popular vote (Facebook & Instagram) with a little help from a random name picker at 6:00 PM (PDT) on Sunday, July 28, 2024.

This design is now called “Fluer de Leaf”.

Thank you and congratulations to Janet Smith of Turlock, California, USA for suggesting this wonderful and very clever, winning name!

Those participating in this game often use creative spelling to create their name suggestions.
I have been known to correct any accidental misspelling of words but I always check the dictionary first, to be sure that they are not intentional.

For this name, the spelling of Fluer is indeed, very clever.

It turns out that fluer is a verb that means to flow or to creep.
De is French for of.

That makes the hidden meaning of this name, 
"Flow of Leaf". 

I don't know what I would do without all the amazing, imaginative people, who help me name my designs each week!
