![]() ![]() Anyway, that this where the birthday fabric scraps came from. Making clothing means a large amount of extra fabric that isn’t useful to her but is very fun for me. She thoughtfully saves many adorable scraps for me to quilt with. My sister, Cathy, has a shop on Etsy called 6 Monkeys & Co where she sells handmade childrens’ clothing. I thought it might be fun for them to have a birthday placemat they can share, each one using it on their birthday. My grand daughters both have birthdays in March – Big sister will be 7 and Little sister will be 4. While I am here, I want to share this quick little placemat I made this week. Creativity abounds in this group so I am excited to see the finishes! I believe Gail (the originator and organizer of the event) said there were about 50 quilters participating. Everyone will be back on March 18th to share their finished quilts. Hopefully I will baste it and begin quilting it this weekend. When I look at this, I feel like it is complete. To balance things out one last time, I added another strip of the blue along the bottom. Instead, I took the fabric I had left from the five inch square you can see at the top, cut a narrow (1.5″) strip of it and stitched it to the side. I really didn’t want to add more pieced blocks to this very busy little quilt. In her post, she provided so many fun ways a person might do this. For her prompt she asked we incorporate letters or numbers into the round. The final week was set up by Kathleen McMusing. I knew this event would go quickly! Here we are finishing up the sixth round for the Stay At Home Round Robin and then it is time to quilt it. SAHRR – Final Round & a Little Extra Project This entry was posted in Patchwork, Scrappy Quilting and tagged charm square quilts, heart shape quilt, little girl quilt, twin bed quilt on Maby Bernie. Check them out at the top of the page, under link ups. We don’t have any plans so maybe a little sewing, a little exercise and some yard work. These will keep the grand kids cozy for the next sleepover!! Enjoy the weekend everyone. It shouldn’t be an issue.īoth of the heart quilts look sweet side by side in this guest room. I prewashed it to prevent any color bleeding into the white portion from the front of the quilt. I have a number of yards of this leftover from the shop so it felt great to use a large portion to back the quilt and to bind it as well. ![]() Not surprisingly, this added some heft to the quilt. When I basted it, I had the batting (80/20) and then also added a layer to thin pink flannel between the batting and the dark pink backing. The girls often wear nightgowns or little shorts and t-shirts to bed so I gave this quilt an extra layer. It looks puffy because it is! I wanted this to be super warm. Shouldn’t take any time at all to pop the walking foot on the machine and add a bit more stitching. I am somewhat concerned I need more quilting over the white background and will add another set of double lines between the existing sets. ![]() It is cozy, warm and very, very pink! Just what little girls need when spending the night at their grandparent’s house! Simple cross hatch across the heart and then minimal straight line quilting over the white portion did the trick. I settled for somewhat boring shots of it on the bed. I kept thinking I would go take some sort of artsy, creative photos of it but really, a twin size quilt is a bit cumbersome to take outside and hang over a fence or tree branch. Actually I finished it several weeks ago. I have three different versions below, so you can choose the colors you like best.Not sure why I have not posted this already but I finished up the pink heart quilt for the twin bed. These can be posted on the wall, and I also recommend making a book with them to place in the reading center. I have made these printable rules posters for use in your classroom. I always tell my students the most important rule is “Be nice to others” and I always put that poster first. They have worked well because they cover everything, and are simple enough for young children to remember. I have used these 4 simple classroom rules for Pre-K for over 10 years. Using words like “obey” or “responsible” are going to be hard to explain to a preschooler. You will have plenty of other opportunities to teach new vocabulary, but with the wording of the rules, you want all kids to be able to understand. When choosing the vocabulary to use in your rules, use easy words. ![]() I recommend having no more than 3-4 rules. Classroom Rules for Pre-K and Preschool children should be short, and easy to understand by a young child. Here are some printable rules posters you can use in your classroom. ![]()
