Amy aka Park City Girl had a wonderful idea last Spring for an on-line quilt festival. I posted my Quilt Maker's Gift quilt for that one and I'm excited to participate and view everyone's quilts once again.
This is a quilt I made last Spring for my daughter's kindergarten class. I loved Eric Carle's books when I taught preschool years ago and I was excited to use his gorgeous fabrics for a quilt. My daughter Kelly gives each child a turn to lay on the quilt at rest time as long as they take their shoes off. It was a very coveted honor in last year's class. This Fall I'm in the process of making another quilt with Eric Carle fabric based on his book Brown Bear, Brown Bear. Hopefully it will be ready for her class Teddy Bear picnic on October 16th.
This is so cute! I loved Eric Carle when I was a child!

ReplyDeleteI love that fabric. I bought some and put it away until our daughter gets married and has kids. She is a kindergarten teacher, so she will love it.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a neat quilt!!! I love Eric Carle. He is a favorite of my three kids when they were young. I did not know there was Eric Carle fabric. If you get a chance, can you email me resources? Such a neat idea with the kids taking turns with the quilt. Thanks for sharing.
