    I used to do that with every class I taught-and I still remember the fun and beauty of the quilts.
    Awesome!!!!!

    Wonderful teaching on the sly project, many kids will never know anything about sewing and creativity unless someone like yourself opens the door to them. Special - needs or not, you never know where the first inspiration is created.

Today I took in my featherweight and did a little piecing demonstration. They really enjoyed seeing their square get sewn into the top. We still have a couple of days of school after Memorial Day, so I'll hang it up for our little classroom "promotion" ceremony. FUN day!!

    What a great project! And I really admire the teachers of special needs students. We may not always tell you, but you are really appreciated by the parents.
