I Got My 12 x 12!!

I received my 12 x 12 from my partner today!!  Thank you Helen.  I love it!  Every time I look at it I will think of you, Victoria's second mom, up in New York wearing your vest. lol   It came to school so I was a little surprised when my principal brought this package to me.  (I didn't realize I had given that address to Victoria)  My principal thought I should make some placemats like that - he doesn't understand the concept of a quilt being an art piece and he said it was too small to be a quilt!  Some people!!  : )   I am taking the one I made up to school tomorrow to show him - He has never seen any of my quilting stuff since I am new to the building this year and he doesn't really know me.  He did love the subway map fabric you put on the back.  (He really loved the whole thing and thought it was wonderful, but couldn't fathom that we would call it a quilt - I've got some educating to do!  He is a former mechanic and I only have 5 more weeks since he is retiring this year.)  Anyway, I will quit rambling and say one more time, thank you!! Now to get mine in the mail tomorrow along with a signature block to Victoria.

You're very welcome, Nathalie. Loved making this for you, but I don't think I will be sewing a set of placemats LOL!

Oh, he didn't expect you to make them, He wanted me to make them! I won't be making them either. lol

When you enlighten your principal about art quilting, you might mention the Big Apple reference to New York Hope he gets the joke! And I do hope he will appreciate your lovely work, too.
