yodel-odel-odel-aaee!...
...off to school I go again, to my daughter's 5th grade class, with a basketful of bright felts, emboidery floss, needles, scissors and a touch of lavender to make Valentine heart sachets like the ones below -
(I think I still have cuckoo clocks on my mind 'cause don't those hearts look a tad Tyrolean?!...)
Like last time, the children were very eager; I gave them the option of gluing the flowers onto the heart or sewing them on and they all opted for the latter! I also made little portrait tags to tie onto their sachets by printing their photos onto fabric. Take a look at their wonderful creations -
'Hope you're all celebrating Valentine's Day with lots of sweet chocolate, kisses and hugs...
What a lovely project for the girls and boys (?). I will aim to file that project away in my little peabrain of memory 'cause it is truly special. STop spoiling those kids!

I love your blog - it's so fun and sweet. The hearts turned out well and they do have a bit of a Tyrolean feel to them.

You're giving the kids such a wonderful experience. I'm sure they'll always remember it :)

Those are JUST DARLING and your photos are stunning!!! I love all the colors you used too. And yes, I too thought they looked Tyrolian/Bavarian.
What a talented group of children!

so charming! those children are mighty lucky to have a supportive mom like you to help out. thanks for that. I was one of those moms when mine were young. They grow so fast. But, now I can share quilting, with one of them, at least.
