To all teachers, thank you
Even though my eldest is leaving high school, he still wanted to say thank you to 2 special teachers.
Perhaps you guess which two subjects these teacher taught??

Hello, my name is Teresa-
More fun with the Front Range Modern Quilt Guild. For 2013 we have had "swaps"- each month something different.
For the Month of May- name tags. We wear then at out meetings, good way to meet the new folks. I got Teresa. She asked if the person who got her would piece her name. At first I'm thinking perhaps Teresa doesn't want to wear a signboard…. so with a little help from the photocopy machine and a pile of tiny scraps, and a wee bit of creative license, Teresa has her pieced name, name tag.

These letters are SMALL. The size of the finished name tag is only 4.5 x 4". It's densely quilted with Aurifil Thread to match the background fabric (Kona Snow) |

The name tag comes with a sewn lanyard. Lots of rainbow goodness. |

Market Bags to-go!
More fun across the Atlantic. Trading Market Tote bags with Corinne (PiecedbyPeace). These are the ones I made for her.
Soon they will leave here and get to go shopping in Germany. At least if she puts them down they will be easy to find!
