They used ribbon ties, but I prefer to use a flap with Velcro to close it. With children there to help, you have the perfect opportunity to have them draw you some simple line drawings and use them as crayon blocks in a quilt. I have twenty crayon blocks to finish putting together. They were done with muslin, batting & backing and hand quilted around the edges of the drawings which are colored with the crayons.

THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU....I can't thank you enough! I will try this out! I have been looking for a monogramming machine, I am a student so I don't have hundreds to spend on a embroidery machine! My parents' bought me a nice sewing machine a while back...i started sewing with it and realized I am good at it, so then I wanted to monogram stuff so that I could sell it to make some money...I was actually going to give the sewing machine away and buy a ebroidery/ sewing machine. I WILL NOT be doing that now! I am SO trying this later on today! THANK YOU!! OMG!!!!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU….I can’t thank you enough! I will try this out!

I would probably use a zig-zig with a shorter stitch so it looks like satin stitch... but I've never thought of drawing the outline and going over with sewing!
