The last day of school is tomorrow, and I have just gotten started on my teacher's gift! I know I will not be able to finish it, but luckily our teacher is going to be teaching summer school to some of the older kids, so as long as I get it done soon I should be forgiven.
I got this idea from Samelia's Mum month's ago. Since she is down under, her school year ends during our winter, and she made a wonderful tree wall hanging for a special teacher. I thought it was a brilliant concept.
I thought this would go quickly by machine applique, but one test piece on Big Brother told me it was not the best idea. He does have a zigzag stitch, but it was a little unpredictable and I want this to look nice! Without Ms. Kitty back, I am appliqueing by hand. I am going to write each student's name on a leaf (the 3 "fallen" leaves are kids that left during the year). I hope it will turn out alright.
