Young Quilters in Crawley Down!
On a wet August day, 13 Young Quilters met in Crawley Down to make nine patch cushions. We had precut the squares, and prepared the backing fabric ready for them. They all chose their packs of fabric and laid their squares out as they wanted them. These were sewn together on the new sewing machines provided for us by the region. Then the children added their own choice of embellishments, buttons, fabric flowers and hearts. Then we helped them to put the back on and turn the cushion the right way out. We had provided cushion pads, so everyone went home with a finished cushion. Our next session will be in October half term, so if you are interested in coming along to help or have a child who would like to join us, please contact me for details.
