At the end of every school year my daughters and I vote on gifts to give their teachers.  This year’s winner was aprons, mostly because their teachers talked about how much they loved to cook throughout the school year.  So, the four of us went through my quilt fabric collection and picked fabrics that matched this year’s classroom activities, stories, poems and favorite colors.  These are our finished projects.

Fabrics were purchased from Burkholder’s Fabrics, Denver, PA.
