Kids and staff helped make up all these blocks for two
more quilts for Donations for BASICS inc.
Please click the image to see it larger,
there are so many great things to look at!
I can't tell you who had more fun, the grown ups or the kids...
ha! let's just say it was the grown ups who had to be
ushered out at the end of the day...
OK, folks, time to go! No more playing! ;-)
So much fun,
Such good people.
Wish you all could have been there to play.
My new friend from the metro mod quilt guild, Kim,
came along to help!
She was a huge help, as was my daughter, B.
Thanks to both of you!
And Miss Erica was pleased as punch with her 4 blocks she made!
Everyone pitched in, worked together, and we got the job done.
One gal, Suzie, we discovered, was very good at cutting out butterfly shapes,
so she was delegated to cutting butterflies...
hearts, birds, tea cups and cars, oh my!
I need to get the group picture...
what a lovely afternoon!
**If anyone has SIMPLE quilt tutorials they care to share a link to,
I would like to add a link to several for people looking for
quick simple quilts to make for the new quilt blog project.

Oh my, what fun!!! I sure wish I could have come to play. I love what the grown ups and kids created together....what a great idea!
I like your new header too.
What a wonderful quilt, the children are fabulous artists. I used to teach kids folk art painting and I loved working with them.

You are amazing and B is equally great. Looks like a good time was had by all
That looks wonderful and you may have opened the door to the world of quilting for a whole bunch of new enthusiasts. I love the block with the beach and palm tree!
Looks like you had a great time. What a wonderful way to spend the day. The blocks look great!
It looks like everyone had a fantastic time! Nice to see lots of smiling faces. But you just have to smile at days like this!
Wonderful. Important to teach kids about giving. Perhaps there are a few future quilters in the group too.
Looks like y'all had a great time! The quilt looks awesome! I wish I could have gone too! Have a fabulous day and happy quilting!
Kids are so naturally creative! How wonderful you could introduce them to something new.
Beautiful smiles! :)
FUN What did you use to do the names?
This just shows what one inspired person can give to the planet and to the adults of the future. I love it!
I love any project that gets kids using their natural creativity! congrats! Chris
I have a tutorial for super simple house blocks here http://mrsmoenhowtos.blogspot.com/2009/11/building-house.html
These are 4"*5" but can be made into any size.
What FUN! I always love going to the school to play with the kids and make quilts! Here's a super simple quilt to make from scraps!
