For Eagle Scout!
 

I have made this one myself and did not enjoy quilting it. So when my friend brought this over to quilt, I took a deep breath., so... I quilted in the ditch on the waving flag, a stipple with stars around the flag and some detail in the feathers on the eagle. The only thing I don't like, is my writing of the young mans name on the little Sash in the eagles claws. Any suggestions for helping me with my writing words or numbers when I quilt! I'm open to suggestions!

Wonderful quilt!

I can see that it would be a challenge to quilt, but you did a lovely job on it.

That's really lovely. You did a great job!

You did an excellent job!

I write words, names, etc. on tissue paper; pin the paper in place on the quilt & quilt (sew, write, whatever) over what is written on the tissue paper. It tears right off. I cut it large enough to have room to pin out of the way. I have done several quilts this way. Hope this helps.

stunning, like the bargello effect of the stripes

Beautiful Quilt, I would try writing his name in washout pencil or marker then quilt it on by hand. you could also get someone with beautiful writing to write it on using a micron pen ( they are permanent pens for fabric ) any way you do it, its lovely.

I once did calligraphy sayings around the wall close to the ceiling in our dining room. What worked best for me was to pick a font on the computer and enlarge it to fill the space I needed. Print it out. I would re-trace on tracing paper using a frixion pen or pencil, so the printer ink doesn't transfer to the fabric, just in case. The spacing and letter formations are perfect. Hope this helps.

Absolutely gorgeous quilt and quilting!
