For Teachers


Dr. Seuss/ Cat in the Hat Mini Quilt

One of my daughter's teachers had a Bumble Bee Theme for her classroom. I couldn't resist the opportunity and I made her this "Bee Smart" Banner, it was one of my beginning "real" quilting projects. The yellow fabric has little bees buzzing around and I mirrored that with the swirly quilting stitch in the background. I used the Cricut to get the large letter patterns.
 

I also thought up this "bee hive" cup for her pens and pencils. I wrapped thick cord in yellow fabric and hot glued it around a mug. My husband sawed off the handle for me, and I embellished it with bumble bee iron ons.



A pretty stool for the teacher

1. Hot glue batting onto seat.
2. Lay stool upsidedown on fabric square.
3. Pull sides over the bottom of seat
(fold over for a neater look)
and  hot glue.  (It's tricky around the legs)
4. Hot glue fancy trim around the side.
It really takes about 15 minutes
once you get the hang of it.

It's a Block Party!

Welcome to the Friday Night Block Party! I always wanted to live in a neighborhood that had block parties, but I lived in a cul-de-sac where people only made U-turns!  But I have decided to make my own Block Party right here on the blog! We'll be here every Friday and you can even be a host if you want.  Just shoot me an email . But for now, let's get this party started!     I am going to be showcasing some great quilt blocks in this feature with some back stories. This is a good way to become more familiar with the history of quilting and the blocks, read a blurb here . And of course, making samples is a great hands-on experience. Join me won't you?     You could share the same block, which would be nice, but a Block Party is a Block Party! So just add your link to feature any block that you are working on whether it's paper or fabric. I am asking however, that you please add n...
