I made this quilt top a long time ago for an older friend who's crazy about cats, and the consensus on this board was that it was too babyish for an adult. I agreed and made another one, and saved the first one for "another time."

Well, the other time has come, and I finally got it quilted--strictly STID. This is for my daughter's boyfriend's goddaughter who is 2-1/2, and absolutely adores their kitty, Nacho. I thought they could give it to her for Christmas.

Unfortunately, my beloved Espire doesn't have embroidery capability, and I would love to sew a nice label on the back with just her name, LORELEI, on it. As you can see, the quilt is mostly pinks and greens. I was thinking of just plain white fabric or maybe a white-on-white with her name embroidered in dark green. Is there anyone who can help me with this? I'd be happy to pay you for your trouble--it shouldn't take but a minute if you have one of them thar fancy embroidery machines. There's no hurry--it's supposed to be a Christmas gift. If you can help, please PM me.

Have you asked at a local quilt shop or embroidery machine dealer if they could/would do it for you? Just a thought.....

Sure I will do that for you, it will not be fancy, (because I do not have a fancy machine) but I can make a label for you. PM me what you want exactually. Name in a heart maybe and the years and anything else you want on it. I have an example of my label on the Red and pink on page 3 of this link http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-47314-1.htm

Be sure to give me your address, and I will try to get that out this week

oh by the way I forgot to say how much I like your quilt and I am sure the child will love it too. I love giving a child a quilt them seem to appricate them the most. And my hope is that it not put away and saved. I want it used and loved and maybe carried off to college just to remind them of home.
