Kindergarten Graduation
My daughter, Bridget, graduated from Kindergarten today. As I feel I am her teacher, Amanda Birdsong's, biggest fan, I made a mini-quilt with an Oriental fan out of some material I have left over from a purse I made a few years back, trimmed the fan in lace to add a special touch. Bridget will get the honor of presenting it to her teacher tomorrow. I hope she likes it as much as I loved making it for her.
As there are 4 excellent Kindergarten teachers at the school, I decided to make each on an "apple". I just enlarged the pincushion idea and placed fiberfill and rice inside. They make such an impact on each childs' life, I wanted them all to know how special they are.
Thanks for looking. I love viewiing and being inspired by your work!

The teachers will be touched that you thought of them. My mother was a second grade teacher for years and she kept and remembered all of the children's gifts to her.
your daughter is beautiful.
your daughter is beautiful.

Sweet! Before you know it she will be graduating from High School....the time flies so quickly. I am sure the teachers will appreciate your gifts.....I think teaching these days can be pretty hard going.

Thank you. I cannot imagine how difficult it is to be a teacher. I get frustrated with my one, Ms. Birdsong had 21 kids to deal with every day. As did the other 3 teachers (two are bi-lingual). I think teachers are amazing people! I think Bridget is a cutey, but some say I am supposed to think so.

What a beautiful gift! I am sure her teacher will love it. We had graduation last week, and, as a kindergarten teacher, I can tell you that for the first week of break all I want to do is lay on the couch! Oh, and sew!

Ypur apples are really cute. My daughter is a kindergarten teacher and I know she appreciates the gifts from her students, she is always touched that the parents of her students appreciate her work with their kids
