My machine is back and I'm already busy. I put her to work last night and made this. I have four more to make. I am making them for a local preschool's fundraiser. I have all of the handprints and getting the top together is a piece of cake (the above top took just over an hour). I'm going to be tying the quilts and the auction is on Nov 15th. Think I'll make it? Of course I will!
I also have some super top secret stuff I'm working on, but I can't share that until later. I have lots of pictures downloaded for my coupon tutorial, now I'm just finishing up the text and I'll get that started in the next few days.

This is darling. Something like that would make a wonderful gift for a teacher with all the student's handprints. Alas, my kids are all grown. Something to keep in mind for grandchildren though!!
What kind of paint is used and will it hold up to being washed over and over or is this to be a wall hanging?
That is wonderful. I can't believe all of that took just one hour! You're amazingly creative!

Is it a disappearing nine patch?
I love the lime green shades. Very tasteful.
I love your handprint quilts... this might make a great teacher gift for Nora's teacher at the end of the school year. I'd love to knwo more about how you do it - if you could email me some details.. size of blocks, do you add sashing before you have them do their hand prins or after? what kind of paint to use..ect...
