Thank you, and thanks for well wishes.

Thank you. Anything that makes Bobby's life a bit happier.

Thank you. They live quite a distance from us, so it's nice to be able to lend a hand however I can.

Thank you, noah. They are unique anyway.

Thank you. You sort of get on a roll and it's hard to stop :)

Thanks toogie. I have to let my daughter know about this great recommendation. She had been using 4X4's. What a great alternative.

Thank you. I send a flower your way, too.

Thank you rescuer. He has so many hardships to face, that one wants to help lighten the load.

Thank you. I thought he could then develop favorites.

Thanks Sue. The hope was to make them lots of fun.

Thank you. I have to say, every project helps me learn a bit more about what I will do when I purchase Embird Studio.

Thank you Sherlene. A rough definition of a g-tube is when someone has a tube leading from outside of their body into their stomach. They are then fed by a (in Bobby's case) very nutritious liquid diet. The little pads I make help prevent the skin around the port or button from becoming irritated.

Thank you. He's one of my favorites, too.

Thank you. Fun for Bobby I hope, too.

Thank you. Anything special for Bobby is special for her, too

Thank you.

Thank you. I'd say the sizes average about 2.5 to 3.5 inches. Yes, they will all have snaps. I guess you could use velcro too.

Thank you. Hugs to you too

Thank you.

Thank you. You're right, love is what makes it possible.

Thank you. I hope so too

Thank you.

Thank you. Anything to make his life a bit less frightening.

Thank you Chris. Many of these shapes are from Designs by Cuties. There had been a complete g-tube design here when it was up and running. Some are from my membership on Cute Embroidery. I look for heirloom applique shapes because I like how they outline the shape.(the polar bear is from Embroidery Library) I hoop stabilizer, lay one piece of flannel on top, embroider the designs. I try to do four at a time. I then add two pieces of flannel before the outline stitches. Remove from hoop, cut out the pads, turn, blanket stitch around the buttonhole area with my regular machine. I need to have it neat for Bobby. Otherwise, one could just let them be raggy edges.

Thank you. I am sorry that I can't sell these because although I did put a great deal of time and effort into them, I stood on the shoulders of real digitizers. I had been wanting to get Studio for Embird and this may be the very force to propel me into doing so, because I would love to give this type of design away to anyone who would like to make these children's lives a bit sweeter.

Thank you. It was fun to do and I am slowly learning more about designs.
