Winter Class Quilt

Our school district is holding a silent auction to raise money for the Relay for Life event to raise money and awareness for Cancer research. The art department has been asked to make artistic contributions with the students to include in the silent auction. The event is Wednesday, December 18th. YIKES!

My fifth grade class that I see twice a week has started making a snowflake themed tapestry/quilt. It is exciting as I am learning a few new things myself! I will keep posting the progress. Last week we went back to our primary days and cut snowflakes from paper to use as stencils. On Tuesday we battled the wind and a hide-and-seek sun to expose our light sensitive fabric. We are using Blueprints on Fabric (http://www.blueprintsonfabric.com/).  I rinsed them out and ta-dah! I can't wait to start embroidering these tomorrow!
