The school year is wrapping up in just a few weeks! Are you looking for a unique (and easy!) teacher gift to make on your embroidery machine?
Whether you're hoping to send a gift with a child or grandchild, these 10 ideas have an A+ in my grade book!
#1: Apple Mug Rug ✏️
I made this Apple Mug Rug for my son's fifth grade teacher just last year. She loved it, and it only took about an hour to whip up!
This design is part of Kimberbell's Holiday & Seasonal Mug Rugs, Vol. 2 collection. You can find it at your favorite quilt shop or wherever Kimberbell projects are sold!
#2: Reusable Sandwich Bag 🍎
Many of you will remember the Reusable Sandwich Bag from Kimberbell's Digital Dealer Exclusives 2023 collection. What could be a more perfect teacher gift than this?
You can still order the Reusable Sandwich Bag through participating Digital Dealer Exclusives shops. Find one HERE!
#3: Pocketful of Sunshine Gift Pocket ☀️
Sometimes all a teacher needs is a Pocketful of Sunshine to see them through the day. This design comes from our Heart-Felt Gift Pockets collection and is super easy to make!
Find Heart-Felt Gift Pockets at your favorite quilt shop or wherever Kimberbell products are sold!
#4: Blossoms & Butterflies 🌸
A butterfly is a beautiful symbol for a teacher. (After all, they start the year with squirmy little caterpillars and give them wings to fly!) So why not stitch this design from Kimberbell's Blossoms & Butterflies?

#5: Thanks For Helping Me Grow 🌻
Say Thanks for Helping Me Grow with this design from Kimberbell's Mug Rugs Vol. 5! You can use the design way beyond the mug rug . . .we put this one on a Canvas Cinch Sack Blank.

#6: Machine Embroider by Number: Apple 🍎
Our Machine Embroider by Number: Apple design is pieced (very easily!) in-the-hoop and comes in FIVE different sizes. Any teacher would love to receive this apple-ling design. (Couldn't help a little pun there.)

#7: It's a Cinch Gift Bags 🌻
It’s a Cinch Gift Bags are another great idea, especially when filled with pencils and more. 😄 Each bag comes in two sizes, large and small, and is created in-the-hoop with no raw edges or stabilizer showing.

#8: Roll With It ☀️
Who needs to Roll With It more than a teacher? We added this darling design to a tote bag and stitched the roller skate with smooth Embroidery Leather. (Teachers can always use another bag, right?)

#9: Jeanette Zipper Pouch ✏️
And here's another useful present for your favorite teacher: the Jeanette Zipper Pouch! It's made entirely in the hoop (zipper included) and is just perfect for pencils and pens. (Oh, and the pouch comes in four sizes!)

#10: School Bus Mug Rug 🚌
Here's a gift that would work for a teacher, bus driver, aide, or anyone else who's gone the "extra mile." It's part of Mug Rugs, Vol. 3!

Bonus: Graduation Gift Pocket 🎓
Okay, so this one isn't technically a teacher gift. But I had to throw it in, as many of you will be celebrating a graduate this spring! A little "extra dough" is always appreciated, especially when given in such a cute way.
This design is part of Kimberbell's Heart-Felt Gift Pockets collection. You can find it at your favorite quilt shop or wherever Kimberbell products are sold.
No doubt about it . . .any one of these projects would make a kid the apple of their teacher's eye. 😀 I hope these projects spark your creativity for teacher gifts this year! (I know they have for me.)
Happy stitching!
