Memories to Heirlooms |
As a teacher, when asked if I had children, my answer was, “Yes, 700.” As a Family and Consumer Science Teacher, I taught every child in the building, every year. Everyday I encouraged and taught, but also fed, clothed, did the laundry or consoled. They were my kids. There was one family where I knew some of the children since they were born and to this day call me Jeangerdes (all one word). When children like this, to whom I was so connected, graduated I wanted to make something special and I wanted it to be something I could repeat for each child. Solution: an over sized graduation pillow. One side with Donegal School District green and white with the Donegal logo stitched into the middle, the other side with their college colors and the college logo. I used oversized piping, and quilted each side before stitching it together. This honored their past and present all in something that they could give a big hug when needed.
