She did It and 4th finish!

 Bright and early on a beautiful morning in Baltimore we helped set up at the Reading Partners tent.

 Everyone noshed on bagels while putting on their numbers for the race.  

Added bonus was the signs on the runners backs stating who they were running for...giving that extra boost in their stride!

 The team was excited as they should be for this is how they work too....excited to be helping the youth of Baltimore succeed!  They liked the new flag too!:)

 Tables and tables of food is how Baltimore feeds their runners...food for over 3400!

This is the only runner we cared about....she did it...besting her time.  

Her first 10K.

May there be many more!!

Now the flag hangs in the Reading Partners office!!:)

(30" x 37")

 Oh...I finished something too.

Had fun with the hand stitching...just went for it. 

 I don't know what to do with it as I'm not a red, white and black person!!  

Any ideas?

2nd quarter 2015 finish list.

Running for Reading Partners!

The girl is an Americorps member working for Reading Partners.org 

She is so passionate about her job of finding volunteers to work in the schools of Baltimore, MD...so passionate they even talked her into running a 10K for a Reading Partners team! 

She doesn't like to run!!

Well of course I had to find some fabric and make something else for them having already supplied their office with table toppers and coasters of blue and orange...Reading Partners colors.

 Here is their logo. So cute and to the point!

 First pile of blue and orange fabric and felt turned into....
