Thanks! One of the reasons they are done that way is because I had large designs and small ones. The small ones are the "framed" ones. The little fish on the pillow was intended for the quilt originally, but it was way too small but too cute to waste and I had just one small pillow form in my stash, so it was perfect match. I embroidered a colorful dragon also, but I didn't like it when it was finished; it didn't "work" in the quilt.

Thank you.

Nope! What I am is a determined person. I rarely let anything or anyone get the best of me ... and this is NOT always a good thing!

He will love it!! And I cant help but to laugh at the fact you ripped everyone who had anything to do with your machine. :lol: I have a tendency to do the same thing if I have to work on my DD Honda or if I have to work on anything inanimate.

Maybe thats why I do not own any electric sewing machines.........

I sent an e-mail to his grandparents this evening telling them about the quilt and asking for info. that I need for the quilt label and info. about his older brother, so I can enclose a gift for him. His grandma called me on the telephone when they got the e-mail. It seems Joshua is allergic to almost everything, both food-stuffs and air-borne, so he is extremely delicate internally and externally. But what he has is great heart and a happy, loving personality ... in short, a beautiful child. I always cry over any child who is very ill or any who are neglected or abused. I don't begin to understand child neglect or abuse and I thank God for the caregivers who love and tend sick children.

Weezie, you are one of the caregivers with all the love and work that went into your lovely quilt.
