Quilt for school auction
#1
Just complete this quilt for the school auction. I call it "My Shadow". The inspiration for the project came from my own first grade teacher, Mrs. Sperry, who made silouhettes of all her first graders for many years. My husband and I were in her class the same year ( 50 years ago ). I have our silhouettes in the original frames hanging on our living room wall. We have fond memories of Mrs. Sperry and our first grade classmates. One day I hope someone remembers their first grade year with warm thoughts.

What a perfect way to remember and honor your students! I taught grade school for 35 yrs. and I wish I had done something like this. When I was teaching, I didn't have the time and didn't know how to quilt.
