MLK "In-Service" day at Popcopson School Making Quilts for Sick Children - 2011

Many students from the Unionville school district spent their MLK day off of school... in school...doing some type of service for others. Love To Sew Sewing Studio was asked to gather up some sewing students and come in and help make quilts for sick children.

Children colored squares and left "Get Well" notes on them. We were to turn the colored squares into quilts.  Moms came and helped us sew the squares this year. With their help we were able to stitch up ten more quilts than last year! Thanks Moms!

Here is our pinning station! Great job girls, they never stopped pinning the whole three hours.

Here's one of the completed quilt tops. Think about how many hand it took to make this one quilt. Thirty-six children to draw a photo, three kids to pin it, and three kids and seven moms to sew it. That's a lot of love that went into making this one quilt!

It didn't stop there for us, later that night Zoe's mom brought the quilts that weren't finished to our studio and four students whipped up six more quilts! Thanks so much Ali, Shannon, and Zoe for spending your Monday night sewing class helping others in need!

Opps... and thanks Kylie too!
