I do crafts and sewing with the 3 neighbor girls. I am the unofficial "neighborhood fair coach". Well, the fair finished last week, so we are now in the "build our sewing, cutting, pinning skills phase" until at least after Christmas. Our next project will be a team quilt - Little House on the Prairie quilt. We will cut up men's shirts (plaid helps for cutting straight if you are 7 years old). The 9 year old will have the opportunity to improve her sewing skills. The idea of using clothes for making quilts fits the concept of a pioneer quilt. We will use 6.5" squares, and I will applique a big Holly Hobbie over the top of it. I think we will kill several birds with this stone!
