Kids & Quilts – They Go Together
Kids and Quilts… sometimes they are made just for each other . . .
Bears at the Beach is a quilt that can be a family project. It will look great on the wall or on a child’s bed and will be a great keepsake.
Each square is first colored with crayons. Then they are stitched with DMC thread. The older kids might want to help with this. Then it’s all put together to make a 53″ X 69″ quilt. If you’re heading south for a vacation this winter, this might be a good project to take along. If you have a rainy day you can still spend time “at the Beach!”
BFF – Dresses & Do’s uses a new technique called Swap-lique. The appliques can be swapped and changed over and over. Little girls will have so much fun with this quilt. They can dress the best friends in different outfits, change their hair and give them different pets. They might even want to get involved in searching through your scrap bags to find just the right fabric for the dresses.
It finishes at 26″ X 41″ so it’s big enough to be a “lap quilt” for a little one when she’s not playing with it. More patterns will be available in the future with more outfits and pets and accessories for everyday and for holidays. What little girl wouldn’t love this quilt?
This next quilt is for the kid in you. Don’t feel quite so enthused anymore about braving the cold to build a snowman? Stay warm inside and build an entire collection of snowmen along with their friends.
The Snowman Collector Block of the Month will keep you in snowmen all through the summer and you’ll be ready to cuddle under your finished quilt next winter.
Next time you browse through the quilt patterns at Quilters Warehouse have your kids sit with you so they can let you know what they like too. Who knows, you may have a future quilter in your home!
