A unique gift for new arrivals (and don't forget the older siblings, you don't want to leave them out -- it's never too late!), this birth announcement tapestry is a lovely piece of keepsake art that will be cherished for a lifetime. In addition to new parents, grandparents love having heirloom tapestries for each of their grandbabies (and great grands!) as well. This is the perfect go-to gift for new arrivals, no matter who is buying it -- you'll be proud to gift it and proud to display it as well!

Your personalized custom announcement tapestry will be made to order. Divider lines and framework will be complementary to your theme. If we're matching a previous announcement style for a new baby, please be sure to let me know! If you do not specify a base fabric color, all elements of the design will be paired to match and complement each other as well as the fabric. For best results, fabrics should typically be light tone on tone, light mottling, light *not "busy"!*print or light solid color, although this is not carved in stone because they look really nice on stonewashed denim!

What I MUST know:

Full Name (all of it!)
Date of Arrival
Time of Arrival (don't forget am or pm!)
Length
Weight

Other things to let me know:

Base fabric color preferences (if any)
Color(s) to use (or not use!)
Is there a nursery or decor theme?
If there's no theme per se, is there something to play to (or not!) for it?
Are we matching styles with an older sibling or cousin, etc.

Things to consider & alert me as needed:

Thinking of the parent(s) of the child and the home decor ... Perhaps they like things understated ... or maybe their decor is very rustic or very flowery and romantic ... Is Mom a fan of elephants or woodland animals ... maybe she loves (or hates!) daisies ... did the baby's going-home onesie have a giraffe on it ... was the baby born in the dead of winter during a snow storm ... was he a Christmas-time or Halloween arrival ... did she arrive near Easter or Valentine's Day ... are the parents in the military ... do you want birthstone colors and/or birth flowers worked in ... Chinese or Western Zodiac imagery ... you get the idea!

The finished embroidered area will be about 9x12 [230x300] overall (or 12x9 [300x230] if you prefer a horizontal layup). If you need a specific amount of extra fabric around the design, let me know. If you don't specify I'll just leave an extra border all 'round. (Approximately 12 x 16 +/- overall.)
