Only one more day to go and Charlotte finishes kindy for the year. She has had a great year and her teacher has been wonderful, kind, caring and all the kids love her. I decided to make a quilted wall hanging as a special gift for Charlotte to give her.
Charlotte picked all the fabrics. She picked the jelly roll
Adds sent me for organising the box swap for the front, some Michael Miller Dandy Damask for the back and some pink dots for the binding.
I printed the class photo on some fabric and got all the kids in the class to write their names on strips of paper which I then traced onto the fabric and stitched over using some embroidery floss. I then quilted it along each strip. Charlotte wrote the label on a piece of calico using fabric markers.
She gave it to her teacher today and she absolutely loved it. When I went to pick Charlotte up I even got a big hug. Thanks Miss H for making Charlotte's first year of school a wonderful experience.
