Readers Are Plentiful - This wall quilt was made for ny neice Nicci's 5th grade class. Each child made a seat cushion out of fabric. The class tradition, and MY CHALLENGE, was to make a quilt that used each child's fabric scrap. This was a real challenge - I received fake fur, and lots of fleece! When I saw this pattern in my software, I knew this was it. I put lightweight fusible interfacing on the back of the fleece. I fused the letters on, stitched them with monofilament thread, then heavily quilted it so that the letters and books would Pop out. Such Minnesotan notables are: Chief Justice Warren Burger, Vice President Hubert Humphrey, Vice President Walter Mondale, Charles Schulz, Judy Garland, The Andrews Sister, the Pillsbury Company Dough Boy and more! Though I live in PA, I am a native Minnesotan, so I had great fun printing off pictures of famous Minnesotans and placed them in each book. Some photos are sprinkled around the letters. I've heard that the teacher just loved this quilt.
