This was just a little gift for Claire's teacher at the end of June. Her favourite colour is yellow and I had the perfect fabrics.
I was very happy with the bit of pink velveteen I used for the eraser. I paper-pieced the pencil and had lots of fun free-motion quilting her name!
I hand-stamped a little note from Claire on the back. I heard through the grapevine that she is still enjoying it on her desk at her new school.
I had so much fun making this little mug rug that I think it will be the year-end gift for the teacher every year!
As a former teacher I would have loved one of these.What a great job you did!

ReplyDeleteI would love to purchase this pattern but I can't seem to get your shop link to work. As a former primary grade teacher, my favourite gifts were the homemade ones. I would love to be able to make these for my granchildren to give to their teachers. Please let me know how I can purchase this beautiful and creative pattern.
ReplyDeleteHi Catherine,
DeleteThat’s strange. The link on the sidebar works for me. My shop can be found at www.patchworkpottery.com Thank you.
Hugs & Happy Quilting,
Laurraine
