Thank you ladies!!!!

Lacelady, like barnbum said I use photo bucket, I have never mananged to figure out how to attach files to a forum such as this (I know pathetic right) and it is easier and less time to upload them to photobucket ONCE and then just copy and paste the link instead of having to wait each time I want to post a picture. It also saves the forums bandwidth also! and me from having to crop the picture before uploading it!

Quiltncrazy, I am a mom to a new baby, but I also have a five year old and a two year old. lol I never sleep! my husband works midshift (4-midnight) and I sew pretty much from the time the kids go to bed until he gets home! I also sew during nap time while my daughter and husband are in school!

Barnbum, What I did was traced the letters on "wonder under" (any THIN fusible web would work), ironed the web to the back of the fabric, cut the letters out, ironed them onto the front of the quilt and then just kinda traced around them with my free motion foot. Like a raw edge applique deal! lol On Liam's quilt I quilted OVER the letters, on Jordan's I added the name after quilting!

Thank you again for all your kind words!
