Hopefully I will find time to stop by and visit with all of you. Most of all I hope I get a chance to begin some of my quilting projects soon!!! Everyone here from the beginner to the veteran quilter has been a true inspiration.
You might want to share your love of quilting with your students for arts and crafts. My students always enjoyed sewing, especially when I convinced the principal that a sewing machine was a must as a part of my curriculum. I used the sewing lessons to help them make things that enriched their geography and social studies lessons. Their parents were happy that I was teaching them something so useful that was beyond the regular classes.
