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!

Hi Veronica,

Personalized double wedding ring quilts continue to be a favorite Bluebird Gardens customer wedding and anniversary gift, and for good reason.

Whether it's a Midnight Blue double wedding ring throw (photo) or regular size quilt, giving a personalized double
wedding ring quilt as a wedding gift is not only a nod to tradition with the double wedding ring design, it's also a great way to, well - marry something practical with something that's an instant memento.


Our best-selling wedding quilt is  country double wedding ring quilt (photo), which incorporates almost every possible home decor color.

Country double wedding ring is a great quilt for that situation where you don't know bedroom colors and don't want to second-guess what quilt colors the bride and groom might prefer.

One of my customers last year picked a quilted throw based on wedding colors, which was a nice twist on the challenge of knowing what quilt colors to pick!

The gift doesn't have to be big, and neither does the quilt. Although queen size quilts - 90x90 inches are the most favorite quilt size, a lap quilt or throw like country double wedding ring throw will work well, too.

Standard throws are 50x60 inches and can be used as quilted wall hangings as well as home decor over a sofa or chair. What makes it unique are those embroidered names and wedding date in a quilt corner!

It usually takes an embroidery shop about a week to gets names and wedding date embroidered. If you want to make the quilt even more special, add a special quote, favorite saying or location of the wedding to mark the special day.
