We were contacted in January of this year to make a quilt for the Hamlin School. We have made fund raising quilts with Hamlin in the past, but this one is unique.
The plan was to put profiles of all the kindergartners on the quilt, along with their names. These girls are the Class of 2019, Hamlin School.
The process involved printing nearly life-size profile photos of the girls on a photocopier, cutting the profiles from lovely sherbet colored batik fabrics and fusing the profiles, and the girls’ signatures, to the background. . Once fused, the pieces were stitched for permanence and the top was quilted by New Pieces quilt service. The topmost picture shows the quilt top before quilting.
What an amazing keepsake for this year, and for years to come!
