Nothing too subversive, but my LAer put my grands names and the year in cursive in a random spot, large enough to see, but not easy to find if you weren't looking for it. The first grand found hers in a couple months (no hint, just gave quilt and waited). The second knew about the first's, so she was looking! Took a couple weeks, but she called to say she found it ! Fun, no effort, and a LITTLE sneaky!

Well, they kind of teach it in Texas. They work on it the last 6 weeks of third grade. That, of course is not enough to learn it.
I was looking for a book at Half Priced Books a couple of months ago. I had written down the name of the book. I asked the clerk of they had it, showing her my note. She replied that she could not read cursive.

Recently Modern Quilter Jessica Skultety visited our guild. Several of her quilts had words and phrases "free hand" sewn into the quilt. They were not done with the "monogram" function. She said she did them with her regular Janome. They varied in height and width. I know you can see some examples on her Instagram page.

I made a Christmas table runner for a close friend and had a difficult time trying to decide how to hand quilt it. I decided to hand quilt many Christmas sayings in both English and each of their nationalities. It was very fun to do and they enjoyed reading the various verses. When i do a wedding quilt I quilt both the bride and grooms name in the border along with the date of the wedding and in the top border Mr. and Mrs. full name. It gives a personal touch and solves the problem as to what to quilt in the borders.
