Homeschool hiking/biking annual event

It is an annual event now and will be held each year the last full week in May all across the United States.

Education Programs at New England Quilt Museum
Parents of home-schooled students may organize a group of five or more for a six-week quilting class. The program typically runs two hours per session during regular museum hours. The class objective may be designed in conjunction with art, geography, history/social studies, math, reading or science curriculum. The first week, students learn about The FUNdamentals of Quilting, complete the Scavenger Hunt, and begin sewing their individual needlebooks for storing their own needles, pins and thread. In subsequent weeks, students select a variety of fabrics, design patchwork quilt blocks, and learn the basics of hand sewing. Students arrange their blocks and assemble them by machine to complete a small quilt. The final week is set aside for their quilt show and a presentation to friends and family about their individual project. Fabric, patterns and related supplies are provided. Contact the museum for fee information.
