    Default Quilt Label

    I'm hoping that some of the members here on QB can help me for a saying on a quilt label.

    DH and I are from a large (huge) family. Last week the newest member to the family was born and is number "100" of the family. A quilt has been made in his honor and now I need a clever saying to put on a quilt label that proclaims this wonderful event. For the life of me I just can't come up with anything other than 100th member of the family.

    I will be using my embroidery machine so creating it isn't the problem, I just want something unique. I hope someone can help me come up with something.

    Thanks, Jan

    *Oh...and baby 101 is due in August!

    Sorry, I am never clever with sayings for quilt label. Hopefully, other members will have some helpful hints for you.

    I found this on-line...it shows descriptions of large groups of people....maybe you can come up with something using these:

    maybe....."welcome 100th member of our family circle" or "welcome #100 to our family flock" or whatever sounds good to you! Good Luck!

    How about:
    ____ (name of baby) 100th member of the ____ (family name) and going strong.

    I love Dr Seuss, so I'd probably try to use one of those sayings w/ an ending of "Congrats on being #100"

    In this day of everyone is a number....it's nice to put the child's name before the number. I really like what HillCountryGal suggested.
