How long ago did you download the trumpet from the embroidery site? I'll have to check into it since I have seen very few that are as realistic as this one is. I keep seeing great ideas for his quilt but I really must get going on it or he will graduate before he ever gets it.

Thank you very much for your input. I am in the process of collecting patterns for my quilt with a musical theme. Before I get started on the quilt I decided to make a needlepoint pillow using guitars for the decorations. As a first step I just copied three different guitars from photos onto a canvas. My grandson actually made one of the guitars and it came out great.

My husband is a guitarist and most of his guitars are hand built. I told him I'd like to make him a quilt to match the guitar he was having built. He mentioned it to the luthier, who sent me a template of the guitar body, neck and headstock, with all the details marked on it. He even sent me one of his mother-of-pearl logos so that I could include it. Unfortunately, my husband sold the guitar before I could find the fabric to make the quilt (try matching blond wood with fabric <LOL>). But I still have the template and will someday make the quilt.
