Do you have 2 hours a day to share your love of quilting with children? Then this opportunity is for you. We are looking for 6 volunteers a day to work with the 3rd grade students at Ira B. Jones Elementary School from Tuesday, April 30th through Thursday May 9th.  (Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday each week from 12:15 pm to 2:15 pm)

You can sign up to volunteer through the link below.

Sign up for Kids Sewing

The first week the students will be making a small pillow they will take home. The second week they will be making blocks for an Immigration Quilt that will hang in the School.

All supplies will be provided so no need to bring anything. You are welcome to sign up for just one session or all 6 -- whatever you can manage will be appreciated.

Many thanks for considering volunteering for this fun and rewarding opportunity.  If you have any questions, please contact either me or Joan Tolley.

Do you like blocks with small pieces and intricate detail? Do sharp points elude you? Paper piecing makes that possible, some say easy.

In this class you will learn the basics of paper piecing.  To solidify what you learn we will make blocks for a Project Linus quilt.  All fabric will be supplied.
