Everyone who has seen it loves it, and so many people have been sure that it has been made for them... sadly (for them) this quilt is for Amanda, who has been my younger son's advisor for the past 4 years. She has been inspirational through her personal achievements and is supportive to the boys in all they do, academic, sporting, social and emotional. At every sporting event I have been to, she has been there with bells on, cheering, mentoring, chaperoning, supporting. As many of the students are boarders, she is always there for them. Earlier this year I had to advise my son of a death of a loved one over the phone and make arrangements to amend his exam timetable and collect him from school to attend the funeral. Amanda was there. At 8am on a windy below freezing morning, at an away football game, Amanda was there. I could go on. Needless to say she gives 110% of herself to not only her advisor group, but to the school as a whole, and this is her gift from her Year 12 boys. They are each writing a label (I have the final veto to ensure they are suitable) and will present the labelled quilt to her in the last week of their final term at school.
I'm sure she will celebrate with them at they reach this milestone.
Perhaps she would like one of these...
It's a toblerone cocktail from the Red Grapevine in Armidale, and yes, it was yummy, but I had to get someone else to drive us back to the motel.
I have also this week finished Kerrie's quilt, one of the few custom quilts I have done as I am still getting the hang of it, but here are a couple of photos from earlier stages in the quilt.
Lots of work in this one.
