Here is the feathered friends that came to our home this year. I have had this idea for a couple of years, but finally made one. A few of my students also enjoyed making a turkey for their holiday.

Week 9 – Aug. 24-27

Thursday, August 27th, 2009

Here are the pictures from the last week of Summer Camp. My Lazy Days of Summer are at the end………..hardly lazy days when I am working to keep up to all these prolific sewers! What a great way to spend my Summer. Thanks to all my students for sharing their Summer with me!!

This morning the student that is modeling the turquoise skirt brought in a pair of paints that her grandmother had given her. She didn’t like the pants and wanted to make something out of them. This is what she did – she made the pants into a skirt. She was thrilled to have something that she wanted to wear and being able to make her grandmother happy by wearing the article of clothing that she was given.

Week 8 – Aug. 17 – 20

Tuesday, August 25th, 2009

Here are the projects from Week 8 of the Children’s Sewing Camps.

I think the blue pillow with the frog and lilly pad is pretty creative.

I almost get tired thinking of all the sewing that has been completed this Summer in my studio.

This Summer not very many students have made “Big Foot” pillows, but there have been a few made at the end of the season.

This student completed this quilt. She purchased the fabric at a vendor while attending the Village Squares Quilters show last November. She pieced the top and back and did alot of the quilting – pretty amazing work. When she made her label I was reminded that she is only 7 years old. I had her stand on the chair so she could hold her quilt up higher so we could see more in the pictures.

It all amazes me to see how creative and how well my students can sew.

Week 7 – Aug. 10-13

Thursday, August 13th, 2009

I just completed my 7th week of Summer Camps. Each Summer I am amazed at the amount of sewing that these kids can accomplish and how their skills are improving. This oversized postcard is a perfect example of this. It was made by a 10 year old student. She started sewing with me the Summer of 2007. This Summer it has all come together for her and she is doing wonderful work. This is very rewarding for me.

Here are the collages of the students with their projects from this week. Enjoy!!!!!
