This gift was for a kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Howland, who spent part of her month of vacation (May) substituting for my daughter's first grade class while the regular teacher was in the hospital. Mrs. Howland hung it on her bulletin board, and in appreciation gave my daughter a copy of the book "Matilda" by Roald Dahl.

The design is a freebie from the Janlynn website. I changed the colors in the green leaf from DMC 699/701 to 986/987. When the stitching was finished I sewed some printed fabric on the sides, mounted it on a square piece of foam core, and glued felt on the back. My daughter signed the back with a black marker.
