Leslie’s 6th grade class had show and tell with my pillow Meeting my Higher Self. Leslie said,” They smelled it (it smells good!), stroked it, squeezed it and more. We talked about the swirl stitches, your design, why I loved it.”
I told Leslie that I wished she could see my smile when I saw this picture. Knowing that my work could touch 6th graders as well as their teacher makes me want to cry with joy and satisfaction. I want my work to speak to all kinds and ages of people, to connect to as many people as possible. Seems like it’s beginning to happen.
Maria, I hope the smile on your face is as big as the smiles on those children’s faces. I know mine was.
IN-CRED-IB-LE !!!!!!!
Maria, You never what part of you or which of your actions, thoughts etc. are going to touch someone. Awesome, isn’t it!
Yes, Barb, one of life’s great surprises.
Oh Maria!! How WONDERFUL!! I so agree that having kids appreciate art is a special (and too rare) thing!! And your greaniun quilt is very beautiful!! Annie
Wow Maria, that is so cool. 6th graders? Even more cool.
I hope you can feel my smile all the way from my own sixth grade classroom!
Something beautiful to squeeze, smell, admire, perfect for sharing. 🙂 Fiber Artists of the future. 🙂
Oh Maria, This is indeed a happy photo.Your magic is out there!
Both of these students sew. That is why I chose them, with permission from their parents, to model with the pillow they all admired.
