For me, having a day off (which is what I selected) doesn't necessarily mean a day spent without my family... the part of it that got me was being able to spend it however I want - which would be fun times with my family, a small break to get a deserved and much needed mani/pedi, and absolutely no laundry or cleaning of any kind. The best thing I could imagine would be a day where I get to have all the fun parts of being a mom without any of the chores.

Thanks so much!! :-)

@ jgrasse - I ironed on the letters using the approach described here http://www.modabakeshop.com/2009/08/personalized-birdie-pillow.html, and then hand embroidered the edges. I usually do a zig zag stitch on the machine when I applique but I preferred the look and texture of the thicker embroidery thread for this application. Also, I did the applique after I finished the quilt so I wouldn't have to quilt over or around the letters. Feel free to contact me via my blog if you have any questions as you're working on your letters. Good luck!
