Episode 022: In Which We Teach the Children 9-10-2010




Quilting...for the Rest of Us show

Summary: Our topic for this episode is teaching kids how to quilt. We have two interviews and all sorts of input from listeners--great stuff! Our first interview is another installment in the "quilters like the rest of us" interview series. Last May, I interviewed Jan from my guild, and we ended up talking about kids n' quilting, so I had already earmarked it for this episode. The second interview is with Lynn, a long-time listener, about "Aunt Lynn's Sewing School." Lynn had responded to my question in BigTent about teaching kids to quilt with a great email all about Aunt Lynn's Sewing School, and I just had to follow that up with a conversation. (Thanks, Lynn!) In this episode, I also share other great input from listeners about their experiences in teaching kids to quilt plus some resources you might want to check out. <br> <br> Mentioned in this episode: <br> <br> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1571201416/ref=s9_simh_gw_p14_i1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&amp;pf_rd_s=center-2&amp;pf_rd_r=1RZ1A8K9N4VRP95EV0TW&amp;pf_rd_t=101&amp;pf_rd_p=470938631&amp;pf_rd_i=507846">Kids Start Quilting with Alex Anderson</a>(C&amp;T Publishing, 2002) <br> <br> "Quilting with Kids" at  <a href="http://www.thecraftstudio.com/qwc/index.htm">http://www.thecraftstudio.com/qwc/index.htm</a> <br> <br> Maria Peagler,  <a href="http://quiltsandcreativity.com/summer-sewing-camp">http://quiltsandcreativity.com/summer-sewing-camp</a> (Thanks, Darla!)
