I again leaned on friends and neighbors to help an entire kindergarten class decorate their own "button blankets." We do a very nontraditional version of a button blanket, with lots of pink ponies, lace, and beads.
Each of the kids chose an animal, color for the animal and color for the background. S-n-B members helped sew the basic forms and several members were able to come to the school. I appreciate any and all help, however, I never want anyone to feel pressure to help with my crazy projects.
On our big sewing day, we took over the library and worked with the kids one-on-one. They chose buttons, trim, beads, patches, and thread to decorate their animal.
The grown ups were amazed how well the kids could sew! They had some practice working with me on the class quilts.
The kids really enjoyed the time with their grown-up and were very excited to be able to take home their art at the end of the day.
