Looking Back at the Past - Sewing

For the past month, we have been doing a unit on quilts and looking back at the past. We have read many books, like The Patchwork Quilt, The Josephina Story Quilt, Miss Rumphius, Peppe the Lamplighter, The Rag Coat, When I was Young in the Mountains, and The Coat of Many Colors. All of the books had something to do with either looking back at the past, and the way things use to be, or the importance of quilts as a necessity or story telling devise. To go along with this unit, the student working on embroidering a pillow. Everyone did a GREAT job at embroidering. It always amazes me how some kids really get it (especially some of the boys!) and do an outstanding job!

Here are some pictures of the kids sewing away last week! :)

You all did a GREAT job!
