Mrs. Penny's Baby Quilt



Mo has this GREAT teacher! She is one of those people who goes out of her way to make sure your kid not only learns but learns WELL. She is also one of those amazingly gorgeous pregnant people. You know the ones, radiant glow, perfect skin, hasn't gained a pound anywhere except for that glorious giant egg that fits perfectly in her size small maternity clothes...anyway, you want to hate her but you just can't. I have made it a tradition to make small quilts for my kids teachers as end of the year gifts each year. As soon as I found out she was preggers, I decided that I would make a baby quilt instead of the usual 'teacher' quilt for this one.  I had a panel that I bought a few years back that was really cute but I never got around to doing anything with it. Once we found out the baby was a girl, I was sure this was the one to use. I joined up for Myra's PhD Challenge and this was one of the quilts I committed to finishing. I figured that since the baby is due in March I should get on this one first.

UPDATE:

Hello Angie!!!
This is Mrs. Penny. I have to say that it was SO EASY being a good teacher to Aubrey. You have raised such a wonderful young lady. I can't wait to see what adventures await her in her life. Please do not lose touch.
Well, if I didn't feel good at all during my pregnancy, at least you thought that I looked nice! HA!
The quilt is beautiful. I have only made one quilt, but that was enough to let me know that you have some real skills. You don't see the back in these photos, but let me tell you, it is as beautiful as the front- quilted flower designs and all.
You have been a joy as a parent of one of my students- thank you!
