AnnaSophia

I've mentioned several times in the past that my BFF lives in TX.  I made both her girls a personalized pillow.  You can refresh your memory here and here (if you want).  At Sydney's birthday party, my BFF's neighbor really liked the pillow and inquired about how much I would charge to make one for each of her girls.  Instead, my BFF ordered 2 from me and she's giving them as birthday gifts this year.

This one is for AnnaSophia.  She turns 1 in May.

I tried to get a decent picture of the pillow but her name is so dang long.  LOL.  The lettering took me 3 hours yesterday morning to complete... AFTER I got home from the sewing store with my embroidery arm that I thought was busted.  Turns out there was a loose screw and a 5 minute fix.  Thank goodness!  I ended up ripping out 5 letters out as I went along.  The spacing was too off.  Too much white space.  Since I have to squish this baby into a box for the mail, I wanted it as short as I could get it.  As you may see, by the end of her name, I wasn't really too picky on my spacing.  It's hard to judge when everything is hooped up for the embroidery arm but I'm getting better at it.

I haven't worked on anything else.  I need to get back to my Postage Stamp blocks, Bliss blocks, my Summer wallhanging and blocks that I haven't even shown you yet.  Maybe later.  Right now, I'm starving and I have 40 cookies to decorate for next Saturday.  That's a whole 'nother story.

Enjoy your day!
