50th Wedding Anniversary

Last week I was lucky enough to be able to be part of a 50th Wedding Anniversary gift! Can you believe that? 50 years! 50 YEARS! I am not sure that happens often anymore! It was such an honor to be part of something so fabulous!
I worked with my client for a couple of days to try to come up with the perfect gift and eventually she decided on doing a quilt. BUT I do not know how to make quilts. So she picked up a ready made quilt at our BRAND NEW Home Goods store and I helped make it special for her in-laws.
Thanks to one of my Yahoo groups I was able to find the perfect embroidery design over at Urban Threads...
I stitched it out with my machine  on to her quilt...
 
First, I grabbed an old quilt to test the design and make sure my little embroidery machine could handle sewing on a quilt. I added a little personalization as requested (the above pic shows my initials and my hubs + our anniversary date). Word to the wise double check the date before stitching! My anniversary is on the 27th not 31st (that would be my son's birthday). At least I got the year right! 
Then I tested some more...
And FINALLY I took the plunge and just did it!  
SUPER CUTE, RIGHT??
 Well check this out! After I gave the quilt back she added the cutest buttons. I swear, I want one of these so bad now...with the correct date of course!

    I am really enjoying the theme/design of your site.
    Do you ever run into any internet browser compatibility
    issues? A couple of my blog audience have complained about my blog not operating
    correctly in Explorer but looks great in Opera. Do you have any recommendations
    to help fix this issue?

    When someone writes an piece of writing he/she keeps the thought of a user in his/her mind that how
    a user can know it. So that's why this piece of writing is perfect. Thanks!
