Thank you so much for your input. I found so much info from your replies that I know it's going to easier than I originally thought. The only difficult part will be that, although I can embroider parts of the info, I cannot keep it up. I live in N. Calif and my DGD currently lives in London and may be headed to Scotland in the next year or so. I would be so wonderful if I could visit at least once a year to embroider the updates but do see how that's going to happen unless I hit the lottery. So I may need to resort to a permanent pigma pen and let her parents add the info.
I am excited to get started now and hope to have it completed by Labor Day when I head across the pond for my first visit. Thanks again for your response to my questions. Happy Quilting!
