A few of the gifts I finished for my kids teachers!

I overcommitted a couple of years ago, with massive pieces. They turned out well but it was so stressful completing them in time.

This year (after a full 1 year break from stitching!!) I decided to make some pieces for the various teaching staff, across kindergarten, childcare and school. I also started in June ????

I chose small, doable pieces and thanks to this forum, poached some wonderful finishing ideas. Instead of framing, I used wooden hoops with glitter washi tape. I also used a thick box board to cover my ugly and very messy backs.

Patterns are all from Etsy and those shown are from:

Merry Christmas to a wonderful community that has often kept me sane and motivated!
