A few years ago, when my daughter started teaching, I made her a Dr. Seuss quilt for the reading corner and gave her some of the books for her own classroom library. I still had some fabric of that quilt in my stash and decided to make a bunting to hang up in her class room. I added a few other pieces from my scrap bin.
It's actually one long sting of bunting, but I couldn't get it all into one picture. A friend of mine was kind enough to cut the letters on her AccuQuilt fabric cutter.
With the few flags I had left I made another shorter bunting. I think that would look nice in a baby or kid's room.
I also had to make a block for another of my quilting friends who is leaving Singapore. She requested Singapore Nature and I came up with this
It's supposed to be a lotus flower bud, in case you can't tell.
And I've been shopping! A local shop is carrying the whole of the Steel + Cotton range and at a very competitive price too. For now I bought mostly blender fabrics, but I might have to go back for more. I think they are such versatile and pretty colours/patterns and are great additions to my stash.
We are off to Bali next week; let's see if I can find some lovely batiks for my stash as well. I'll keep you in the loop.
Cheers

I"m sure the kids love the bunting. And that sea in the background is just beautiful - and warm too no doubt. Enjoy your time in Bali.
Your lotus flower block came out really great. Love the bunting, what a great idea for the classroom. Enjoy your time in Bali.
