This is what I decided to do with my jellyroll...
My co-teacher is getting married May 1st. I had the kids in our class draw and color pictures related to her wedding and gave them ideas like: wedding dress, cake, bouquet, the couple, etc. These are their ideas of what her wedding will look like (knowing of course that purple is her favorite color). I scanned their pictures and printed them on the printable fabric (washable of course). I'm very excited! Now I can't wait for the day of the shower as I plan to have the kids present it to her earlier that day. I also scanned her invitation and found a photo of the couple on FB and included both of those. Don't you love the blue and purple wedding dress!

Aren't kids great. You and the kids have created a masterpiece that will touch her heart.

I love the candles on top of the cake - LOL !!! That will surely become a family heirloom. You are a wonderful friend.

to start I wanted to tell you that your quilt is beautiful.. the kids art is adorable, you truely have to love the imaginations that they have.. What lesson did you include on this? I am just curious.. was it a math lesson? I think that teaching kids to think of others is a good thing..
|
As my dad would say, "That's a keeper." It's beautiful. I'm sure she will LOVE it.

I would like to do another quilt with them, perhaps a Downey quilt http://www.quiltsforkids.org or even one that will be a part of our silent auction to benifit our school. In this lesson I would like to include some multiplication facts, area and perimeter of pieces on the cutting board, and "if I start at 4 and my piece is 2 and 1/2 inches wide, where will I cut?" kind of thing. Then "how many squares do I need to make it 'so' wide?"... "how big will it be when it's finished?" (area and perimeter again)... those kinds of questions. |
This is really precious and the couple will just love it. It's a real teasure.
|
That is delightful....to be cherished I'm sure.

That is an awesome idea. She will cherish it.
|
You are so clever and creative. I'm sure your friend will love it. It's a forever one-of-a-kind quilt and who wouldn't like that. I have a feeling that a lot of people are going to want to create their own like yours.
|
A gift that she will tresure forever.
Projects like this can do so much for building confidence and self esteem with young people. You are so thoughtful for including the students in this project. |
How clever. I'm sure she will love it.
|
Adorable!!! Love it!!
