Popular Post heppnerguy Posted November 8, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 8, 2021 As a person who served in the Army, I was invited to two of my granddaughter's school to have lunch in honor of Veterans Day. Because I will be attending there for two of different girls, I will also be in two different classes. So I decided to make a couple of these teacher crosses for the girls to give to their perspective teachers, as a little gift to honor their teachers who do such a great service to our kids, helping to educate them. I saw a photo on another scroll sight of one of these crosses, so I looked and looked to see if I could obtain a pattern from the designer. I was unable to find it again, so I just made one on Inkscape from the way I remember it to look. Not sure how close I was to how it was originally made and if I find out who the pattern maker is, I will pay him for the pattern, if he or she has a charge for them.

rjR Posted November 9, 2021 Report Share Posted November 9, 2021 Great Job Dick. Very nice gift too. Teachers that actually care are very unappreciated. These will most likely become their treasures. heppnerguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gave the teacher crosses to each of the girls to give to their teachers and both teachers looked me up and thanked me for them and I also got a hug from both of them. It was a very enjoyable time for me. Dick heppnerguy lawson56 and danny 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very nice work by the way Thanks for the information. I am not familiar with either of those pattern makers and I will look them up and if I find the one that made the pattern, I will buy the pattern from him. I am not sure how close I was with this pattern as I made it from my memory and that really is not that good any more.

Rodney, thank you for the nice compliment. I found the wood at the wood store and the price was really good so I could not pass it up. I have never seen this wood at the wood store before and I do not remember the name of it but it was a nice hard wood and cut quite nicely so I think I may just be picking up quite a bit more next trip there.

I will but it will probably be a little down the road as it is an hours drive to the wood store in Mesa. Dick heppnerguy Dak0ta52 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
