Several days before we left I realized we still had not bought her a gift. I just happened to be looking online to see where Northeastern was in relation to the rest of Boston and saw their logo...
"Lightbulb moment" Looks like a quilt waiting to happen doesn't it?
So with a little help from some huge graph paper and hubby at the computer screen with a ruler we drew it out...and figured it out...and pulled some fabrics...
Black, Red and Warm Grey are the school colors...I think we got it right!:)
Laura seems to agree!
She's happy and we are proud!
Purple and Orange, Maps and Books, Diner and Rt 66, cute Robots...
...African, Eiffel Tower, Hawaiian, New York, Science/Math...
Fish, Star Wars and the above all folded in a nice colorful stack, stack of pillowcases! Twelve of them for Maria to give to her UK friends. I think she will be able to find something they like in that stack!
With the leftover scraps I made some bookmarks and little wall hangings that I think would be great to display pins and buttons! I'm sure Maria will find them a home!
Of course while in the home of the donut hole we had to go to a Dunkin Donuts...we said Hi for you Maria....see the Mountaineer on Daddy's lapel?:)

ReplyDeleteCongratulations!! We just visited Northeastern and it is on my daughter's list of colleges to apply to this year. Love the lightbulb moment it really paid off!
ReplyDeleteAww :) Judging by her smile, I'd say you got it right, alright!
ReplyDeleteWow, Maria's friends are going to be really pleased with themselves - making friends with a girl who has this genius, crafty, generous Mum!! Love your logo quilt too - it's funny how you start to see quilt patterns in everything after a while!
