Teaching the next generation to quilt




When my grandson, Garrett, was in Kindergarten, he made a quilt for his school's Science, Arts and Crafts Fair. This year, my granddaughter, Peyton, made her first quilt for the same event. She is only in Pre-Kindergarten and is still 4. Both times, the children had to do more than half the work on their quilts. I quilted each quilt and put the binding on. Garrett cut out his own pieces; I cut Peyton's with a rotary cutter.

I helped Garrett's Kindergarten class make a quilt for their teacher, Mrs. Kupper. I also helped Garrett's second grade class make a quilt for their classroom. This year I am helping the Pre-Kindergarten class each make a quilt for their moms for Mother's Day.
