More years ago than I care to admit, I taught a group of fabulous seventh and eigth grade kids from the inner city of Chicago. Last year, through Facebook, I was able to get reaquainted with some of them. Last week I had the opportunity to meet up with several of them and WOW, I was pleasantly delighted to see how happy and successFULL they were.
Little by little I have been sending quilts to them and/or their children. Here's three I sent off to a wonderful gentlemen with the sweetest soul (and greatest laugh) who became a Chicago police officer, found true love with a twinkly eyed lady, and has two great kids with one on the way.

Such wonderful quilts. How special that you've caught up with your former students.
ReplyDeleteLovely quilts. How thoughtful of you. I bet you were a special teacher too and fondly remembered.
