Cute little Birth-day quilts

Recently I finished three birth-day wall quilts that my aunt asked me to make for the new grandbabies of her parent's friends. They are for twin girls who were born premature but made it and are doing great now.

 I designed them in EQ6 and found the perfect fabric from Connecting Threads.

I hand embroidered the names and birthdays, so first I sewed some stabilizer to the back of the fabric so it wouldn't stretch and pull out of shape when I embroidered.

I printed out the names and dates in a font that could be easily adapted to embroidery and then taped them to the window behind the fabric so I could trace the letters onto the fabric.

 I kept the three pieces together while embroidering so that they would stay in the hoop easier.

I quilted them in the ditch and they are ready to go!
