Back to School Night

Ohhh...the things they don't tell you before you become a teacher. My poor honey, this is him on back to school night. He was at the school for over 14 hours and was completely fried when he got home.  After I got off work, I went to the school to offer some moral support.  I'm glad I got to be there for him and watch as he gave his presentation to the parents.  He did such a great job!

Quilted Map

So, Chris and I were in the fabric store (one of my favorite places to go -yes, he agreed to go :) ) and he saw some map fabric that he really liked.  He knew I had the same fabric at home and we started talking about what I could do with it.  Then he asked me if I would make it into a wall hanging for his classroom.  How could I resist? I outlined a lot of the states -mostly the square ones because they were easier. I also added some waves in the ocean and outlined some of the mountains.

I bought the fabric probably two years ago with the intention of making a baby blanket, but after I got it home, I changed my mind.  I'm satisfied with the way it turned out and think it will look great hanging in my honey's classroom.
