One of the parents from my elementary school was kind enough to snap pictures at our latest R.E.A.D. session @ the public library. If you look closely, you’ll see that Boomer has two sets of hands on him. No wonder he has such a great big smile on his face! He truly enjoys RE.A.D.ing with the kids every other week.

Here’s my entry…  Pattern is the Mariner’s Compass from Quilt Smart.  Machine quilted by Shannon Baker.

Said quilt is now hanging in a place of honor in my media center.

Another quilt used to hang in this very spot before the school was repainted a couple of years ago, so the hanging hardware was already in place.  All I had to do was find a hanging rod.  Bingo!  I found one in my closet at home left by the previous homeowners.  Wasn’t thinking about the PR angle when I hung it up, but it has increased awareness of the fact that I sew and provides tangible proof of my abilities!

Why didn’t I do this sooner?
