Great idea. Would you like her to look aroung FoQ in Birmingham in August?

Hi all -

Building on Sherry's idea of bringing a picture of Rita to join us at Quilt Colorado since Rita couldn't join us herself, I thought it would be fun to start a "Flat Rita" journal, based on the "Flat Stanley" paper doll that is used in elementary school classes. For those of you who haven't heard of Flat Stanley, you can learn more about him at http://www.flatstanley.com/. So, I've made a Flat Rita paper doll and will bring her along next week to the Long Beach International Quilt Show. I will take pictures of her there and post her adventures in this forum. I plan to hold on to Flat Rita this fall, taking her along on all of my quilt adventures, then I hope that someone else in the forum who is attending the Houston Quilt Festival will want to take her from me and chronical her future adventures. I think it will be fun to see how far around the world she can travel!

Here's a picture of Flat Rita before I cut her down and laminated her. I'm not very artistic, but I think she turned out cute! (It helps that Rita herself is cute to begin with!)



I'll let you know how her Long Beach trip turns out. I hope this will be a fun project for us all!!
