Quilt Block Challenge Workshop for Homeschoolers
Join us for a hands-on workshop where students will design and create their own quilt blocks for the National Quilt Museum’s School Block Challenge! This is a fantastic opportunity for kids to practice math, design, and sewing skills while participating in a nationwide youth art competition.
Whether your child is a sewing pro or has never picked up a needle, they will be guided step-by-step through the process. All skill levels are welcome!
When: Monday, October 12th from 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM
Where: Elements Workspace in Gerritsen Beach
Who: Homeschool students (Grades K-12)
What is provided:
This year's required challenge fabric packets from Moda Fabrics
A shared tub of fabric scraps for designing
Elmer’s glue and Wonder Under fusible web
What you need to bring:
A good pair of fabric scissors ✂️
Embroidery floss or sewing thread and hand-sewing needles (if you have them!)
Spaces are limited. Please RSVP to secure your child's spot so we can ensure we have enough supplies ready for everyone.
Welcoming Families with Mixed Ages & Interests!
Don't worry if you have multiple children and only one wants to quilt. If you have children who aren't interested in the fabric challenge, please still bring them along! We will have chess and a variety of board games set up as an alternate activity in the room to keep everyone happy, engaged, and busy. Families are also very welcome to bring along any favorite board games or card games their kids love to play and share!
