Welcome to my day at the We Support You blog hop.
My granddaughter received her MFA this spring from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She's a writer and has taken a position with World Book. We all grew up using World Book, however this is the internet version. Gee, I wonder if they still print the encyclopedias that were sold door-to-door more than a half century ago?
What young person doesn't need "support" when they are heading out into the "real world." I thought she might like a small folder that could hold paper and writing utensils. She has been inundated with quilts from me and this might be practical as well as a statement.
There was no need to shrink the pattern to fit, and it was embroidered with perle cotton in that nice royal blue.
How about that WE SUPPORT YOU blasted across the top. Straight line quilting on the folder didn't take away from the pretty fabric found in my stash.
I'll slip some pencils in before I send it and also this little sweetie I made to hold the pencil sharpener.
It 'll keep her writing with the sharpest tool ever.
And now a word from our sponsor. Thanks to our supportive leader, Pat, from Life in the Scrapatch and to Madame Samm at Sew We Quilt for another fun adventure into the world of sewing, stitching and quilting.
The "We Support You" Friendship Quilt Pattern is available for purchase for $12.00 by emailing Madame Samm directly at madamesamm@me.com.
