I finished these up last night. In order left to right they are for -
My Extra Kid's teacher, she has the blue "gingham" with a blue backside and her pillow pocket is blue. My Extra Kid is such a boy sometimes it cracks me up! He did however love shopping for the fabric and felt very important making such big decisions.
Fred's teacher - Mrs., Fred has such an amazing eye for color that she picked a very nice floral for the front, a matching purplish maroon for the backside and the pillow pocket is a dark green/brown.
Jr's teacher ColtFan is getting - Colts fabric. I know you're all amazed. Jr. wanted the backside to be white but once we talked about the fact that there are two little fans at her house that maybe white wasn't the best choice really. She was insistent about having some white and picked it for the pillow pocket.
George's teacher - Teacher Barbie (if you're seeing this before Friday afternoon be sure to act surprised when she gives it to you!) is getting puppies and pink. No, it doesn't coordinate but George knows she likes both of those things and wouldn't be dissuaded. It has a blue pillow pocket so College Man Ken can use it too.
They ranged in price from $14 - $22 and each took about 1.5 hours fabric to finish.
