Personalized Tree of Life Lap Quilt

This reminds me of some of those online quizzes asking do you see what is different in this photo? Like if you do but don’t give it away.

Over the years, many customers have had us add custom embroidery to our ready to ship quilts such as Spring Tree of Life quilt and this Winter Tree of Life version. From names, special dates, locations and dedications including favorite Bible verses, custom embroidery easily personalizes a handmade quilt.

In most cases, the custom embroidery is of names and a special date, usually in Zapf Chancery font, in a complimentary thread color. I usually recommend picking a thread color that stands out so the custom embroidery becomes the quilt feature.

Have you found it yet?

This particular handmade quilt had an added feature. Here’s a hint, it’s in the tree leaves.

The customer had us add two red birds to the tree limbs. Being from Missouri, we added Missouri native red cardinals.

Another way to personalize this handmade quilt would have bene to add individual family names in each one of the leaves.

Such a simple way to make this handmade quilt unique and special!
