Etiquette wrt naming/giving a quilt
I want to make a quilt for a friend of mine. It is going to be a
wilderness scene, since that is his passion (apart from his wife and kids of course). I was going to call it Wilderness Kid. Now the other day in the LQS I saw (and bought) the perfect Party fabric, which I just knew right there I had to get to use for a pieced backing for this quilt. My friend is a natural born party starter too. So now I want to call it Wilderness Kid and Party Animal. Is this unsuitable for a name for a quilt for a Dad with a young family? The party fabric is with party hats, drinks glasses etc. Nothing indecent or anything! Anyways, this quilt seems to be turning more and more into a quilt for my friend, rather than for him and his wife or the whole family. I normally name the recipient(s) on the quilt label, but now I'm not sure about this one. Put their names (husband and wife), his name only, leave the name of all together??? Or change the title to make it less obviously for him? I mean I'm sure they'd both enjoy the quilt and get a laugh out of the reverse side of it too. But she would still no that I was hinting towards his personality all the way. I do know both of them (and the kids), but I volunteer with him, so naturally spend a lot more time with him. What do you guys think? Thanks Hanne |
