Project? Check!
The kids finally agreed on a project. To make the pattern more kid-friendly, we’ll go with a 5×6 layout instead of the 6×7 layout shown in the pattern. Students have the option to provide their own layer cake bundle or shop my stash. One student began pulling fabric from my stash Sunday afternoon while another one ordered hers online.
Dates and Times? Check!
Parents were surveyed. We now have an official week for quilt camp (last week before public school start date) as well as, the schedule (Monday – Thursday 10 a.m. – 1 p.m.).
Logistics:
Students will bring their own sewing machines and leave them set up for the week. Yes, I have a back-up plan for possessed machines and potential student(s) without a sewing machine.
Everything will be precut so students can start sewing. A completed quilt in the smaller size by the end of camp is a reasonable expectation – especially from the girls who went to SQTM summer camps with me. It all depends on on their level of focus and the amount of socializing. My goal is for each camper to go home with a finished quilt top at a minimum.
Sewing space configuration will be finalized once I know the exact number of participants. I may need to get a little creative if more than 3 kids reach the machine quilting stage during camp, but we’ll make it work!
