Flat Stanley came to Texas!

Flat Stanley came to Texas!
My Great niece sent me her Flat Stanley a few weeks ago. Many students will do this project at some point between 3rd and 5th grades. Flat Stanley is a paper doll that the students color and mail to far away places to learn about his adventures.
I decided that I needed to document Stanley's trip to Texas with a quilt for my great niece. I scanned a picture of Flat Stanley to be prominently placed on the quilt. I added 4 pieced cowboy boots and several pictures of what Stanley did while here. Finally got the label sewed on tonight so I can mail it to her this weekend.

I also wish I'd thought of that. We've done 4 Flat People so far and have pictures of them climbing out of the mailbox, on tractors and all kind of things. One, Flat Ashley nearly got eaten by the dog when I was trying to get a photo of her with the pups. We have two grandkids to go that haven't gotten to the Flat Stanley grades and I'll remember the quilt one with them. I have a ball when a Flat Person arrives. My daughter told me that some children never get their Flat Person back. Seems no one wants to be bothered and that just blows my mind.

I love that you embraced flat Stanley's visit and made the really cute quilt she will love it.
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.
