My sister is making a quilt for a raffle for a local elementary school carnival. The theme for the carnival is: "You and me and the people we see". She is looking for fabrics that show people working or doing things. We've found football players and other sports players, postal workers and delivery people, Santa Claus (we see his helpers!) and lots of cowboys. The fabric must show people, not animals in jobs. I have cute smiley faces with nurses hats, not good for this purpose, it must be people.

We need 6 1/2" squares. I've gone through my stash and have only found three fabrics she could use. Teachers? Students? Doctors? Nurses? Carpenters? Builders? (we have Bob the Builder) Police? Firefighters? Store salespeople? Mothers? Fathers? Quilters? Pilots? Military? We need anything that depicts people we see.

Can you help? I will pay for your postage and send you squares of something in return if you have something you could send. We want this quilt to make some money for the school. Last year's made over $600.

Several of the school's children are involved in the designing of the quilt and laying out the squares. They're having so much fun! Any help and any ideas would be greatly appreciated. If you have something you could send, please click on my photo (go ahead, it won't hurt!) and contact me through the form there. Thanks so much!
