Let’s be Sneaky!
The BYU Idaho apparel major teachers are making Sister Genet Orme a memory quilt for a
retirement thank you gift. All of her
students, former students, alumni and colleagues are invited to add a square. We hope she'll wrap herself in it when she is
having a hard day. We are also collecting thank you notes to bind in a book for her.
Color palette: blues and yellows
Size: Image size should be 6 1/2" x 6
1/2", so use a 7" x 7" square, or trim it to that size when it's
complete. That gives us a 1/4" seam
allowance.
Name: Use the alphabet on our Berninas', any embroidery machine or hand
stitch your full name onto the square. You
may also write more, but your name is a must.
Ideas: Consider using fabric Sister Orme
would recognize as fabric from something you made in her class. If it’s not blue or yellow that’s okay. Or appliqué a miniature of something you made onto a blue or yellow square. Or refer to an inside joke or other something
that will make her smile. Maybe make it
fashion, sewing or pattern related.
Simple designs or elaborate-- all are welcome!
Due date: June 1st, 2022

Thank you notes: We are also collecting thank you
notes to bind into a book-- printer paper size 8 1/2"x11" paper portrait layout. You can say more on paper than will fit on a
quilt square. These are due July 1st, 2022
also to Sister Johnson. You can email those to me to print out if you want:
WE WILL
PRESENT THE QUILT AND THANK YOU BOOK AT THE SPRING FASHION SHOW!
