74th Street School Log Cabin quilt art Project, Los Angeles

Teaching children quilting/arts & crafts has been a passion of mine for a very long time.  This semester, I've been volunteer teaching at the 74th Street Gifted and Magnet School.

I designed a cultural ,as well as, an artistic art project for the children.

The art project incorporates the popular log cabin quilt design.  The Log Cabin design's roots have been traced back to Egypt.  In the 1800's the center square traditionally represented the home. 

The children were instructed- the red square in the center represented their hearts.  Below are a few photos:

This project was done using glue sticks, a 2" X 2" red square for the center and  strips of fabric.

Thank you,

REMEMBER TO BE KIND!
