Over the last couple weeks, MAKESHOP began a quilting project. Everyone was invited to create a 5×5 inch square to add to our collaborative quilt. It has been a fun opportunity to learn all kinds of sewing techniques: from learning to thread a needle to operating a sewing machine.
The response has been amazing; it looks like it’s going to be a big quilt!
There are so many different ways to embellish each square of fabric. We have tried embroidering, applique, and sewing on buttons. Some people have enjoyed using words or recognizable imagery- while others have taken a more abstract approach.
