Teacher Quilts

January 25, 2010 in Kids, Quilts - Completed by emily | 7 comments

For Chistmas, Maeve’s class gave their teachers quilts.  I got the idea after Maeve came home with a fundraiser form that included buying quilt squares with the kids’ art.  The room mom loved the idea and got all the other parents in on it and I sewed them up.  A couple of the blocks didn’t get here until after school was out for Christmas so we gave the teachers the quilts on Friday (they just went back to school late last week… crazy silly county).

The quilts are essentially the same.  It’s a modified Mod Pod to accomadate the number of kids and size of the blocks from the fundraiser.  The teachers and kids loved them!  (I took a picture but there would be so many faces to blur out!)

She also had a blast on Saturday playing by the creek while I took pattern cover pictures.

The new patterns are done. They should be up in the store today or tomorrow and will ship next week.

This post is brought to you by Monday morning… I can’t seem to form a coherent sentence this early in the morning.

    Now that has got to be the best teacher gift I’ve ever seen. Brilliant, in more ways than one! Lucky, lucky teachers!

    That is awesome! What kind of fabric did you use for the kid’s artwork in the center squares? My wheels are turning… :)

    The quilt blocks came from the fundraising company. One kid joined the class afterward the original project so we got the art teacher to get him to draw his and I Spoonflowered it.

    I am a teacher in Waterloo, Ontario and I must say that this looks like an awesome gift! If I was a teacher at your kids school I would definitely sign on to teach one of them in hopes of getting a gift like this :P
