Barbara's Quilt

This quilt was made by my daughter Kayla and I. She was doing her student teaching in Gardiner Montana with Barbara Bush who was Kayla's preschool teacher when she was little. Barbara now teaches 1st grade, any she wanted to do something special for Barbara at the end of her student teaching. She found out that Barbara loves quilts, but can not sew. She also has a love for flip flops. So one day when Barbara was gone from class and Kayla was her sub. She had each of the 1st graders put their painted feet on a piece of material.
Which she then brought out to me in Seattle when she was on spring break and we built the quilt together. I embroidered around each foot to make it look like a flip flop, then we took ribbon and sewed it on to look like straps and placed a large flower button between the toes. Barbara only had fourteen kids, and we were one block short so we embroider Children leave footprints on your heart. The class and the year on a square and added it to the middle. It turned out perfect. Barbara Loved it and Kayla and I had a great time putting it together.
