| The Picture Collage |
I finally finished the keepsake quilt . I made it for Michelle.
She is the 2nd grade teacher I work with. This is her 1st year
with her own classroom. She is a wonderful person to work with
and I thought it would be great to make something for her to
remember this Special year by. The kids had to keep the secret for weeks.
Amazing to get 28 2nd graders to do that. We were quite sneeky as pieces
of the quilt came to class to be signed and finished, while she was there .
When I gave her the quilt she cried, she was so surprised. ( Happy Tears)
The center is a collage of pics of all the events and fun thing the class has done all year.
In the center of the pics it says "Mrs. White's 2nd Grade Class 2012"
Then it is surrounded by 28 little signed handprints from all the kids.
The border fabric is crayons.
I think this was one of the most fun quilts I have ever made.
I am so happy she loved it. Happy memories!!!
