Make It Personal at Monograms By Cie

Pam Chase will monogram your pillows and high thread count sheets. She'll stitch your child's initials on her frilly diaper covers, put your initials on your shirt cuffs and your name in the lining of your mink coat. She'll program her 2500 lb. embroidery machines to stitch elephants and bears onto onesies and mascots onto blankets.

In short, she can (and does) monogram just about anything at her cozy East Memphis shop, Monograms By Cie.
