A Stitch in Time

A Stitch in Time - I was given a video of Kim Denault's apperance on Alex's show "Simply Quilts" and I got in touch with Kim via email. The 1st graders drew patterns, I traced them on tracing paper, placed the tracing paper over four layers of flannel fabric and sewed the design together with the children. I cut through the layers to reveal different the colors, and the pictures came to life. I clipped the seams to 1/4, then clipped every 1/4 of an inch to create a raggedy affect when it was washed. Carefully the squares were placed and the rows sewed together. I then embroidered details, placed buttons and it turned out too cute!! Kim featured the quilt and the 1st Grade class in her book...they thought they were famous! The quilt sold at our school auction that year and it was the highest item sold.
