Howdy y'all :c)

I got the quilt I made for my daughter's teacher completely finished. She was absolutely THRILLED with it! I had put seven blocks in there that had the "Children of the Week" poem on them. She told me that her daughter was born via a prescheduled C-section, and she had used that poem to choose which day she wanted her daughter to be born on! I somehow managed to pick her favorite color for the backing as well. It worked out even better than I had intended! :c)

Here are the labels I made using my sister's Janome embroidery machine.
