Teachers' Day Presents

For Teachers' Day this year, inspiration on what presents to make came pretty late. Thanks to a gift I received - the yellow "chick" cable wrapper on the top right-hand corner. This is a useful and practical gift, and not too difficult to hand sew, though I only succeeded on the 3rd attempt. After that, it was a breeze to cut all the fabrics and velcro. The children wrote on the shrink plastics buttons and sew up the edges. We sewed 22 altogether!



ABC's inchies I made for the August Mingle:

And my "S is for Swan" fabric ATCs.




Sherry (USA) stitched appliques for her O is for Overall Bill, P is for Peace and Q is for Quail. Love the tiny stitches!
Mari (South Africa) sent 5 in 1 mail! O is for Owl, P is for Pins, Q is for Quilting, R is for Rhino, and S is for Sheep.



Gayle (UK) embroidered a stunning Cherry Blossom tree for the Textile ATC Jun swap. It was really worth the wait. Do you believe Gayle is new to using textiles and stitching? I don't!

Hi!
I came across your ATC work @ Bishan Library and one of your ATCs greatly caught my eye. (The sunset) It's a wonderful piece of art that inspires me, and absolutely breathtaking.
I have one question that has been on my mind though- May I know if you are selling it after the exhibition, or do you do customized requests too?
How lovely it will be if I am able to own that exquisite piece, but am only trying my luck through contacting you here as I am not exactly sure how the ATC works.

Do keep up the good work!

Regards,
Cat

The cable wrappers must have been a hit with the teachers.
