The Wish Quilt

The Wish Quilt

April 7, 2010 By 8 Comments

A great idea for a Quilt for Kids Quilt.  Mrs. Baker’s first grade class all brought squares of fabric in, made a wish and wrote their wishes down.  They then put together a beautiful quilt and story to go with the quilt.  It is the kindness of this teacher and these children that will make our world a better place.

What a wonderful experience for those children to have at such a young age.  I am sure they will remember it throughout their life.  Here are the beautiful children I am talking about:

Check out that quilt!!  Isn’t it beautiful!?!?  The squares all along the edge are the kids fabric  and on the background they all signed their names.  I just love it!

They then put together an awesome book, to give to the child who receives the quilt.  All of the wishes they made were written down for the recipient!  What a wonderful gift!!

If you are interested in donating a quilt for kids, let us know…  and we will get you the information that you need!  We are planning a drop off of the quilts we’ve collected this year so far.

    What a sweet idea. I love it. The quilt is wonderful. I think writing wishes down inside a quilt is a very sweet thing to do.

    What a wonderful idea and it could be used in so many ways! I think I will use the idea with pre-school children and they will make their wishes for a teacher that just had to retire for ill health issues! I know she will love it! The main issue is empathy to the receiver! Thank you for sharing!

    I am president of the local quilt guild where these kids are from and I just wanted to say, WOW!!, What a fabulous job you all did. And what a great idea to help out a sick child. You are all to be commended. Also a big thanks to your teacher on a wonderful project. I loved looking at it and reading the wishes.
