Yes Linda, in fact I went back and checked and wrote down the fabric measurements for the polka dot house quilt. Hopefully I will be able to do some cutting very soon.
Darlene I assume you teach at the college level. What do you teach?

Marilyn - you could maybe make polka dot houses with striped doors and/or roofs. LOL!

I received Darlene's squares today, too. I'm trying to decide how to use all these stripes and polka dots.

Marilyn, I have taught all grade levels K - adult to students with learning disabilities, was a counselor and a principal. I'm currently finishing out my career at the elementary level teaching K-5 students in a pull-out program. I earned my Ph.D. during my teaching years and it would have been a drastic pay cut to go to the college level. I may do that after I retire....or just have fun and sew!

Glad to see the squares I sent are making it to all of you. I love the names of the streets as I addressed the envelopes. :)

I taught elementary kids for my thirty years. 16 of those with first graders. The last seven years I was asked to teach art. That was so much fun and a good way to see school kids in a different way. No behavioral issues. They all loved art. They would stop me in the halls and ask what we were making or doing that day or week.
...I started the masters program but after eighteen hours, I had cows to milk, a bus to drive and two grade levels to teach...So I never finished.
I retired to be my three year old granddaughters babysitter. Her baby sister arrived in late August, and I was very busy. When baby sister was three I started a mother's day out program at a local church. She went with me. After two years we added after school care connected with daycare. Three and a half years later, 43 part time workers and 150 kids, I had to leave because I was so sick. So 2009 was spent with cancer, surgery and chemo. God is so good because he saved my life!!!
Since then I substitute taught at two country schools nearby. I loved it. Then I spent 2015 teaching four year olds and 2016 with kindergarten At Churches In Town. (I've worked for Lutherans, Church of Christ and Methodist churches...and I am Baptist.!!!) I Was Excited To Get Back To Sub work...but I Messed Up My Leg Really Badly.so For Now I'm trying to get well. I guess you could say I've had many careers since I retired in 2000.

Marilyn, I too had a bout with cancer. I was off work from January to August in 2011 with surgery and chemo for ovarian cancer. Good to see a sister in the survivor's club! It makes one grateful for each and every day and I take none of my friends and family for granted. It certainly was a learning experience on many levels.

Linda, there is something about fabric and educators! With the taught in the past tense, I am guessing you are retired now?

I received your polka dots, Katie. I remember because one of them was just like one of mine. I also got your striped fabrics. Did you put my name on someone else's address? I've done that before. LOL!

Darlene, when I was five years out my oncologist told me very few survive ovarian/peritoneal cancer. He then said God left me here for a purpose. Next he asked if I was doing what God wanted. I told him I was trying. My oncologist went through chemo at the same time as me. I don't remember what he had. He has three young kids less than 12. I'm glad God spared him too.

Cancer fighters and survivors are some of the strongest people I know!

Linda, I have no idea. I guess I'll just hold on to them for now. LOL
