The balloons on the shirt and inserted into Johnathan&#8217;s name on the cap are from a discontinued <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sewingmachinesplus.com\/dakota-970218.php\">Dakota Collectibles Toddler Trio<\/a> collection, of which I found only one copy available on-line. The designs are tiny, arranged in groups of three and are\u00a0 wonderful to extract when you need a small design. I often wonder why such collections are discontinued when they could be made available individually by digital download. I&#8217;m just glad I have this one in my design library.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>This set will be gifted at a baby shower for a precious young lady we&#8217;ve known since she was born. But it is not my gift&#8211;it is part of a set of items from her sister-in-law who asked if I could monogram them for her.<\/p>\n<p>When she said Melissa, the expectant mama, loves monograms I was so excited! Melissa is a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.janicefergusonsews.com\/blog\/2009\/11\/18\/pgm-playgroup-mamas\/\">PlayGroup Kid<\/a> whose mother has been a member of our 40 year-old sisterhood. The youngest of the 23 PlayGroup Kids, Melissa and Justin were married almost 4 years ago and we have all been awaiting the birth of another PlayGroup grandchild. I expect there will be lots of other JHL monograms flying out of my sewing room.<\/p>\n<p>Though Johnathan is due in less than 3 months, his parents have not yet chosen a theme for his nursery. So I was given free reign to monogram at will.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_37809\" style=\"width: 370px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-37809\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-37809\" src=\"http:\/\/www.janicefergusonsews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/DSC04176.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"360\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.janicefergusonsews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/DSC04176.jpg 360w, http:\/\/www.janicefergusonsews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/DSC04176-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-37809\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">This is the second onesie monogrammed for Johnathan.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Trains seem to be popular with all boys so that&#8217;s what I chose for the gray onesie set. I cannot recall where I got this design, but the 4-car train was edited in my software to turn the corner.<\/p>\n<p>Now I&#8217;m starting on granddaughter Laurel&#8217;s gift for her 14th birthday. I can&#8217;t wait to get started on this pillow with inspirational text. Recently, I altered curtains to fit her new bedroom and there were some large scraps.They will be included in the crazy patch pillow.<\/p>\n<p>But time flies. Just as I rush to get this finished and in the mail, I am amazed yet again at how this tiny baby has grown into a lovely young lady in the blink of an eye.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I just love being able personalize items for special friends.
