I used chalkboard fabric for the blackboard. However, I didn’t use chalk to write the math equation. I didn’t want to worry about it rubbing away, so I used gesso to write the equation. I wanted the focus to be on the math equation and what was going on toward the front of the schoolroom, so I created the children in an abstract fashion.

Cute. And so you.
Very charming! It's a perfect representation of math! And yes, it's definitely a Terri piece!
I recognise your style of face drawings at once! And I like that we still have a blackboard not a chalk board or even the now ubiquitous interactive whiteboard! I never knew you could use gesso on fabric. Must try that one. Thanks for the tip.
What a perfect little math class. I love the sweet simplicity you bring to learning math.
It's so bright and graphic. Great job Terri. You do have such a friendly recognizable style.
Terri, this is so you. Clever even down to the writing on the teachers desk!
Very clever and, I'll say it again, this could be a children's book illustration. That is the teacher we all wished we had!
I was trying to imagine what you would come up with because you have a style that is your very own. This works wonderfully.
Now that is my kind of maths!! The gesso was a great choice - it looks very chalky. And clever you, using blackboard cloth! I didn't even know you could buy it.
This takes me back to my childhood. I can almost smell the chalk dust. You even incorporated a number "12" into the quilt, albeit interposed with a + sign.
Very cute and very Terri!
Oh Brenda, I love that you saw the number 12 in my quilt....I surely didn't.
