I have a 4-H sewing club and we make nine patch pillows which has led into 4 of the children making 25 nine patches and adding sashing to make quilt tops, they tie them and we are going to have a quilt show in April.
We also make rice bags, need-le love (which is a needle/pin holder that looks like a book, made of felt), fleece hats and scarfs, pin cushions and pillowcases. They just love to sew.
Some of the ones that have learned to sew help the others with the machines and just call me if they need help.
