STORYBOOKS AND QUILTS

This program introduces quilting, through literature to elementary aged children.

 

A variety of storybooks have been selected. A quilt that depicts the story, or an element of the story, has been made by a member of the Oakland County Quilt Guild to illustrate the book.

 

The program is available to schools, media centers, public libraries, museums, scout programs and any other interested groups on a loaner basis. This set of quilts has been utilized in the fourth grade for the math unit of geometric shapes and quilt blocks, a one-room school program for third graders, and a historical group’s presentation on the Underground Railroad. To have this program available for your group, please contact the Oakland County Quilt Guild’s Community Education chairperson.  Send e-mail to Webmaster and put "Storybook" in the subject line.
