Yvonne Jordan's "Sew and Swim" classesYvonne writes: "I have a small quilt shop and have taught quilting and sewing to kids
several times. I am a former Home Economics teacher. We live along
the lake so I have called my class "Sew and Swim" Each student made
a mini doll quilt from a pre-printed panel (Sunbonnet Sue) as well as a
matching pillow. We sewed in the am and they brought a bagged lunch
and we had picnics by the lake and then went swimming in the afternoon
for 2 days in a row. We started out with each student practice sewing
on paper and following a line, both straight and curves. This was
called getting a drivers license. They loved this. They learned to
thread a machine and how to control it, as well as hand sewing a label
onto the back of their quilt complete with their name and the date.
I worked between 2 machines. The others watched and/or worked
on making a label for their quilt. It was a lot of fun for everyone
and they begged to get out of the lake and get back to sewing before the
afternoon was over. The girls were able to choose fabric backing
for their quilt top and have a brief tour of my Quilt Shop. My name
is Yvonne Jordan and my shop is "Gosline Place Mercantile" at 2306
