Fairy Tale Castles – 9 Quilt Block Pattern

by

This is a set of 9 quilt pattern designs for foundation paper piecing. Each block is a unique castle inspired by fairy tales. Unfortunately this pattern is no longer available on etsy.  But we were able to find some other Disney castle variations. 

The PDF file includes 9 individual paper piecing patterns to sew 6″ quilt blocks when printed at 100%. You can resize this easily by printing at different sizes and is available for purchase.
This is 9 single patterns. The picture shows possible quilt ideas that you could make using these foundation pieces – quilt patterns are not included.

This is an easy quilt to make, although as no instructions are included, it may not be ideal for beginners.

End of the Year Teach Gift Ideas

We haven’t done end of the year gifts for my daughter’s teachers in a long time, but I remember it being important when she was in lower grades and had the same teacher for most of the day.

Most teachers will tell you the thing they want most is a personalized and heartfelt thank you, from the parents and/or the kids. If you know enough about what went on to share a story about what the teacher did for your child or how they felt about that teacher, so much the better.

Of course you can also throw in a gift card (teachers pretty much universally appreciate cards from Amazon, Target or Walmart). If you know the teacher’s favorite coffee place or fast food, a gift card for those places would be great too.

Make a gift card a little more special with a printable gift card holder like these from Kids Activities Blog.

Another great idea is to give them a gift of school supplies they can use in the classroom next year. I think every teacher would love some extra glue sticks, pencils or art supplies, and if you can present them in a cute way so much the better. Add the supplies to a basket or Mason jar, or use some of the ideas from Hands on as We Grow for inspiration.

That post also has a collection of cards that kids can make for their teacher, which is always a good addition to any of these gifts. My Little Moppet has another roundup of cards. I love this superhero one from Artsy Mama, which is meant to go with a candy bar but it doesn’t have to.

I’m sure I’ve mentioned it before, but I also loved to give gifts of papering like foot scrub. This recipe comes with a summer themed printable to thank teachers for a great year.

What do you like to do or get for end of the year gifts? I’d love to hear about it!
