Do you come in contact with those who work with groups of children?  We need to provide them information about Children's Sewing Day.  A written review and CD with photos of last year's activity at the Revel has been developed.  Tell us how many you need so you can pass it on to those who work with groups of children.  Or put those youth leaders in touch with me.
Children's Sewing Day, on the last day of Red River Revel, is a great field trip for groups.  It's an opportunity to draw pictures onto fabric squares, arrange the squares on a design board and stitch squares together on a sewing machine.  It's a fun day for children and adults!  No age limit!  Last year, our youngest artist was 3 years old.  The teenagers and young adults had as much fun as the kids!
Many of you are familiar with QuiltQuest - during the five days immediately following our quilt show, guild volunteers work with 7,500 area 4th grade students.  The children draw a picture that would cheer up a sick child onto a muslin square.  Then, throughout the year, guild members sew children's quilts using the artful squares.  The children are exposed to art, sewing and community service.
Children's Sewing Day takes QuiltQuest full circle:  the young participants may actually stitch squares together on a sewing machine.  The goal is to spark children's interest in sewing.  Local merchants provide sewing machines and volunteers work directly with the children.
