Flat Stanley has been in our family for years...He goes everywhere with someone. He's gone to every wedding, christening, vacations and an occasion funeral. In fact he was buried with one family member who just thought the world of him. Great travelling companion, no matter where you're going. LOL
Glad to see him on a quilt! Bravo!

How thoughtful of you to buy in to this project is such a delightful way. She will always remember her special year of "Flat Stanley".

What a GREAT idea! Flat Stanley is adorably honored in your gorgeous quilt and your niece gets a beautiful quilt to remember her school year and the Flat Stanley adventure by! Kudos to you!

Evy that made me sad, while its not necessary to do what PlanoDebbie did but damn how hard is it to take a picture or two write a letter and send it back? Flat people are not a thing here, If I ever get the chance to host a flat person I hope that I remember this quilt.

I hope our grandkids get to do a Flat Stanley (or female equivalent). What a great learning experience! Speaking of great learning experiences: I still have the pen pal from Australia that I acquired in third grade (probably through Weekly Reader). We have corresponded over 54 years, and have probably met 8 times (7 times in the US and once in Australia). She and her husband made our trip to AU a much more meaningful experience. Talk about a lifetime of learning and fun! One never knows what a simple gesture can mean for a child.

I love flat stanley. I think the adults have more fun with him than the kids at our school. I was sad when it was over. My sister sent gifts to the whole class when he visited the Breakers in Palm Beach. My daughter took him all over NY and posted pictures with friends. It's a fun project. Love the quilt idea.
