My Students

Just miles from the Canadian border in a small and cozy town in Vermont, you will find a small Jr/Sr high school filled with students eager to learn and show the world how amazing it is to live in a small town. My students are hardworking and creative kids, who love to learn new skills. Each day students come to class eager to learn new skills or build upon the skills they learned the previous day.

My Project

I recently did a project and received 7 Eversewn machines for my quilting and sewing classes. I am now looking to expand this class even further and add a couple of machines that can handle bigger projects such as binding for quilts, costume making and more.

I love spending time teaching students sewing skills as there is so much more they are getting than just sewing skills when we are quilting.

Students are learning self regulation skills as well.

Students get very excited when they get to see their ideas become a realty. Adding this machine will allow students to take their ideas even further and finish quilts themselves!
