  21. Quilting/Sewing and home schooling... Actually I would like to see someone post some sewing projects to do with younger children, for K-Elementary age. I am so scared at the thought of my boys having needles in their hands, but they are very interested in what I am doing. I was never taught how to sew anything, and just started learning on my own a few years ago, so even though I only have boys I would like them to learn something about it.

Just remember to have fun! Thanks for the great giveaway and I've added you to my reading list!
