This
program introduces quilting, through literature to elementary aged
children. A
variety of storybooks have been selected. A quilt that depicts the story,
or an element of the story, has been made by a member of the Oakland
County Quilt Guild to illustrate the book. The
program is available to schools, media centers, public libraries, museums,
scout programs and any other interested groups on a loaner basis. This set
of quilts has been utilized in the fourth grade for the math unit of
geometric shapes and quilt blocks, a one-room school program for third
graders, and a historical group’s presentation on the Underground
Railroad. To have this program available for your group, please contact
the Oakland County Quilt Guild’s Community Education chairperson.
