Bluebird Gardens is delighted to exclusively now offer Melody Lea Lamb's wonderful original animal art in our custom baby quilts!

There's a lot in a name, especially if it's embroidered and added to a gift.

Even after 13 years of running a custom gift business, I'm periodically surprised at how adding a name to a quilt and gift can make a gift that much more special.

Making special personal gifts is the foundation of Bluebird Gardens.

The concept has evolved over the years to include personalized baby quilts, such as Applique ABCs Baby Quilt (left) and New Noah's Ark Baby Quilt (right)  including monogramming ready made and custom baby quilts, as well as making personal matching gift tags for easy inclusion in baby scrapbooks.

This spring, we've also seen an increase in Bluebird Gardens customer requests for our embroidered patches services, a reflection, one customer said, of the down economy.

Adding embroidered patches can be a great inexpensive way to personalize quilts.

After giving one of our personalized baby quilts as a baby shower gift last year,  Sarah said her family went "wild with the idea" of having the baby's name, birth date and other information on their baby quilts.

Sarah said now "the pressure's on"  to personalize all her future baby quilts!

No pressure, Sarah.

Our embroidered patches can be made in a variety of sizes, font styles and colors, and come with an embroidered stitched border to make it easier to applique, or sew them, on a quilt.

Embroidered patches can be sewn either on the front, or back.

Although it may be tempting to put embroidered patches on front,  consider the request of a 7-yr old customer who asked me to change the location of an embroidered patch  last year so he could pull up the quilt and look at his name on the back before he went to sleep at night.

Yes, it's ALL in the name...

Happy dreams, Harold!

Every once in awhile, a Bluebird Gardens customer makes a mistake with their personalized embroidery order when they're making a personalized quilt into a personalized gift.

Shirley - we're not giving her last name to protect the guilty - ordered a personalized double wedding ring throw as a wedding anniversary gift early December.

We shipped the quilt to her and shortly after Christmas, got the following email:

"I've made a big mistake.

Didn't realize until my husband went up to put it up that the anniversary date is July 20, 1989 instead of July 30, 1989.

Can you make another one...My husband will never let me forget this mistake.

PS Do you have discounts for redo for dummies?"

Luckily for Shirley, once she shipped the quilt back to us we were able to take out the 3 and substitute a 2 so all she paid was a minimal embroidery fee and shipping.

We can't always easily fix a personalized embroidery mistake but, considering the grief Shirley was probably getting from her husband, we were glad we could!
