In that way, blackboards and quilts have a lot in common. We can just run out and buy a quilt when we needed it, but the traditional craft still holds interest. It gives us a chance to be creative, to customize what we get, and to have fun and relax while quilting.

It’s nearly the end of March already! School will be ending in a couple of months, so what could be more thoughtful than a small quilt for the teacher?

Today’s article gives suggestions about how to assemble a quilt using the children’s signatures and blocks designed by the children themselves. In addition, you might consider that at some schools they hold auctions where a larger quilt incorporating more classes can fetch hundreds of dollars that can be used to buy supplies and equipment for the school. What a wonderful gift to be able to donate something like that to your children’s school.

And what would be more appreciated by your children’s teacher than something made by the hand from the heart that includes something from each child?
