They have a wide rate of gift items that you can personalize with a monogram. Their selection ranges from stuffed animals to Linen to purses to name a few. One of the staff members also highlighted , that you can bring items from outside the store. I that was good to know. When you personalize an item, it makes it more special in my opinion. So going back to Monogram Lady before Christmas it's definitely on my list of things to do. Most of the items in Monogram Lady atr reasonably price.md. It is absolutely a fun store for your gift explorations!

I brought a high-quality tie to Monogram Lady to be monogrammed as a going-away gift. It was…read morealready boxed and ready to present -- I just wanted to add a meaningful touch. I chose this small business expecting attention to detail and care. Unfortunately, that wasn't my experience. I was told a single seam would need to be opened to do the embroidery. I declined their suggestion to use vinyl, as I didn't want to compromise the tie's quality. I asked that the seamstress call me before beginning. Instead, I got a text from an unknown number -- not ideal, but I went along with it. I agreed to remove one seam and requested the thread be saved for color-matching later. That was dismissed, and the tone quickly became curt and unhelpful. A week later, I picked up the tie to find it had been completely taken apart -- far beyond what was discussed -- and the monogram design looked nothing like what we agreed on. The sun graphic resembled a blotch or bug, not the clean symbol I requested. The seamstress never spoke with me directly, and the staff simply offered excuses. What I would've appreciated most was honesty. If they couldn't meet my request, I would've gladly taken my business elsewhere. Instead, I spent $180 on the tie, $35 on the monogram, and now another $30 to have it repaired -- all for a result I didn't ask for. I don't take writing negative reviews lightly, but I hope this encourages Monogram Lady to communicate more clearly and stand behind their work.

She was super flexible and was able to send us all proofs via e-mail. If something needed an adjustment or needed to be seen in person she would work, often times overnight, to fix designs to our liking and ship them to us. She was super creative and great at interpreting all of our ideas!!! After our invitations went out we received so many compliments that we were afraid the wedding itself would not live up to the quality + beauty of the invitations, ha! Rachel did our invitations, programs, match boxes, napkins, stir sticks, koozies, welcome bags and so much more. Now that the wedding is all over we have turned around and asked her to help us with thank you notes. The quality, beauty and creativity of all things that Rachel made for the wedding is truly unmatched, not to mention very reasonably priced!! It sometimes comes down to the little details at the end of the day and with Rachel we didn't have to worry about a thing. She was right there with us making changes and perfecting programs up until the day of. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Rachel to everyone!!!!

Honey Bee Quilt store was my destination as I was seeking a quilt restoration location. Honey Bee Quilt store was lined with beautifully designed and sewn quilts. Interestingly, you can rent a large quilting machine in store. Someone was sewing a quilt while I was in the store. Of the quilt stores I have frequented, Honey Bee has the largest and most intricately sewn quilts. When I was small child, I remember my mother hand sewing these beautiful quilts. These were not the beautiful quilts with perfect squares, octagon or star patterns. In addition, they did not have the white filling that some quilts have nowadays. However, they were extremely warm, cozy and made with love. My mother sewed her quilts from clothing that her children no longer wore and from pieces she found in thrift stores. The inside of her quilts were clothing laid flat and tacked together. Rewinding to those times, I sat in a red Mexican wooden chair with little colorful flowers across on the back of the chair with a strong Raffia like seat. As my mother sat and sewed her quilts, I read to her, which is first how I gained a love for reading. While I grew up in a single parent household, it was filled with a tremendous amount of love and laughter. My father died as result of a work-related accident when I was 7 seven years old. I associate my mom's quilt with the love in our household and my love of her. Fast-forward to today, my one and only quilt I have from my mom has materials that are moving around. Therefore, they need to be redistributed and tacked down. This restoration effort first led me to a store on Anderson Lane and then to Honey Bee Quilt store. Unfortunately, both stores only sale sewing supplies and/or sewing machines. I met the nicest woman at Honey Bee that referred me to a Sewing Guild in Austin. So, I am extremely hopeful that one of the ladies in the Sewing Circle can help restore my mom's quilt, which has a great deal of intrinsic and sentimental value.

Tucked into a shopping strip I wasn't sure what to expect but the fabric selection was nice and it varied from my normal local quilt shop so that was fun. The staff were friendly and they were extremely busy. I really loved the selection of patterns and pattern books. Definitely plan to go back and peruse a bit more leisurely next time. Open Monday-Saturday and nowhere close to my home office, I'm limited on when I can get there, but will be worth the effort now and then.

Prompt, clear communication characterized the entire transaction: I got quick email replies, accurate proofs, and excellent in-person service. Party Cat's flexibility in working with art I provided also set them apart from other printers I contacted. Their printer allowed me to use a jpeg of a motif from my wedding invitations on the napkins, which no one else seemed able to do. There was a small "plate fee" for this, but the pricing seemed fair to me. When I first picked up my order, I was disappointed at the clarity and color of the printing (silver on red). The product really didn't meet expectations set by the proof. However, Cindy immediately contacted the company and they re-did the order to my satisfaction in just 3 days, so I had perfect napkins in time for the big event. Custom napkins can get a little pricey, but Party Cat offers a good value for a high quality product. I'd definitely use this business in the future and recommend it to others.
