For our 25th wedding anniversary, I made my husband this quilt with North American wildlife. At the bottom of the quilt I embroidered PS: I love you. The label consisted of what our wedding invitation said 25yrs ago and then my say 25yrs later. My husband was shocked when he opened it up and tears came to his eyes. He had no idea I had been working on this for him. And i might add, it was quite the challenge getting everything cleaned up before he returned from work so that he wouldn't know what i was up to. Had he touched my sewing machine when he came home, he probably would have burnt his fingers cuz it was going steady from the moment he left for work in the morning until he came home at nite....and he works 12hr shifts! lol Hope u like it!
