There are also clothing, handwoven coverlets, looms, spinning wheels and other quilting and weaving textile tools and implements.

Class Project by Students of "quiltedgentleman"
Today is National Teacher Day in the United States. It is a day when those individuals who spend so much time and effort are recognized for their hard work. This quilt is a class project by the students in quiltedgentleman's 1st grade as a donation for Relay for Life. Each of the hands represents a student in the class. What a creative way to include quilting, donation and art into a project. This class is sure to learn a great deal by their combined efforts.
Each of us has had a teacher that left a lasting impression. What tip or advice have you received from an instructor that has helped you with quilting? If you are a teacher, what advice would you give to your students?
