One of the least expensive ways to make a quilt special is to use hand embroidery to add names and a special date.
If you're making the quilt, add embroidery before you quilt, or get the quilt top finished.
If the quilt is already finished, you can still add embroidery without having it show on the back side.
By adding embroidery slowly and carefully, keeping the back pulled away, you can get the names and date on the quilt without sewing through the back.
To keep the lines straight, draw names and dates lightly with a pencil so you can follow the design.
Use hand embroidery to also add the name and date the quilt was made; it will add value to your quilt!
