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

Submit to Sister Melanie Johnson.  If mailing use this address:  

Melanie Johnson— Home and Family  

525 South Center;  Clarke Building 223;  Rexburg, ID 83460–0665

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: johnsonmel@byui.edu  

WE WILL PRESENT THE QUILT AND THANK YOU BOOK AT THE SPRING FASHION SHOW!

Please share this with everyone who may want to participate and NOT with Sister Orme.  Let's get the word out!  Here's the QR code for this post to share.
