Ms. Ramsey from Independence VA is requesting art supplies through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Creative Quilts Made by Students!

Help me give my students the opportunity to create one of a kind quilts, zipper totes, pillows, and a variety of crafts! I am trying to instill a love for creating with fabric.

My Students

I teach an explore class at my middle school. My students are from a rural community and some of them have quilters in their family. This art form is becoming lost and it is a great way for my students to express their creativity.

I love to watch as my students learn to use the sewing machine.

Their faces light up as they complete a project. In the past we have created a quilt that was raffled off to buy new books for the library. Quilting is our passion.

My Project

Seeing students make their own pillows, zipper totes, quilts, mug rugs is amazing. Fabric, zippers, quilt batting, and pillow stuffing is a must for my students. We also use a lot of math while creating our projects. Students must measure fabric and sew with a precise quarter inch seam. My students have created a quilt to raffle for library money. They have also created lap quilts to donate to our area nursing home.

This activity is a great way to create a sense of pride by creating handmade fabric projects.

Being able to donate items to the needy is a wonderful way to show a sense of pride in the community.
