Schoolhouses

Our two daughters graduated from college with degrees in elementary education, one in December, 1996, and the other in May, 1997. I made these small (20″ x 20″) wall hangings for them to use in their classrooms. As usual for the time when I made these, they are machine pieced and hand quilted. They are identical except for the figures in the doorway of each school, figures taken from a toile fabric I had. The apples in the borders were essential for teachers, don’t you think? Since that time, while our elder daughter has continued as an outstanding middle-school math teacher, our younger daughter branched out into a different career in financial planning.
