Every year, on the last day of school for my grandsons, my daughter, Amy, presents that year's teachers with a wall quilt she created. My older grandson is entering high school in September so the wall quilts are a well-established tradition.
This wall quilt was presented to my younger grandson's social studies teacher. My grandson, Nick, was involved in a geography contest and honorably represented his class. I remember him studying intensely while I was visiting him. My daughter tells me that the teacher choked up when she received her gift.Plans are to put together a photo album of these quilts. My grandchildren are holding their quilt gift so we'll be able to see how they have changed through the years.
You can walk up and down the halls at school and see the nameplate wall quilts my daughter has made.
I was showing a co-worker these pictures and she commented that my daughter is very talented when it comes to crafts. She smiled as she said, "I wonder where she gets that from!". I quilt also but haven't in several years.
What an awesome gift for the teachers. I know they put in many hrs every week to teach the children, what a wonderful memory for her. :)

ReplyDeleteThank you for contacting me on my blog. I love your picture of the Portland Headlight! I was there just 3 weeks ago. Your knitting is wonderful! I think you will enjoy tatting.
