Nancy Wohl first came to our store while it was still on Solano Avenue and her daughter was first a student at U.C. Berkeley. After that visit Nancy was hooked on the New Pieces way of color and quiltmaking.
Nancy is an English teacher at a girl’s Catholic school in New Orleans. She was inspired to make quilts for each senior in her homeroom, each year. Although the system has now changed, until this year her homeroom girls stayed with her for the whole 4 years of high school. Nancy got to know each girl over those years, and she made quilts to suit them individually.
Imagine being sent off into the world with a quilt, a THOUGHTFUL quilt, made just for YOU, by your homeroom teacher.
So, you have a WONDERFULLY funny teacher, Nancy, a crazy project (make the girls quilts) and a friendship with New Pieces…we’ve done whatever it takes to get those quilts back to Nancy before graduation… what an amazing experience.
Many folks who came to see Nancy yesterday were rolling in the aisle, telling her she has to do stand up comedy.
We are so lucky to know you Nancy… Even though your own daughter has now graduated from U.C. Berkeley (Go Bears!), we hope you will come back and see us often. You’re part of our community.
Thanks for being SO GREAT.
We ALL VOTE YOU TEACHER OF THE DECADE…
Sharona, and the New Pieces Staff
