I Spy Quilt
Library Fundraiser
Judy Weland has created and donated a second beautiful children's quilt to be used as a fundraiser for the Library. Sales of tickets for last summer's "ABC With Me" Quilt raised the money for the purchase of our Little Free Library. We are about halfway to reaching our goal of raising $500 for the purchase of a Mobile Cart for the 3D printer.
Judy writes about her "I Spy With My Little Eye..." Quilt:
This "I Spy" quilt was made to test a child's powers of observation and to provide lots of fun and learning. Among the many categories of items found on the quilt, it can be used to teach colors, animals, foods and holiday symbols, school items, modes of transportation, cartoon characters and sports gear.
101 fabrics were cut into 465 pieces and sewn together to make this quilt. The fabrics are cotton and can be washed in warm water and dried in the dryer.
Made with Love by Judy Weland in Ooltewah, Tennessee. Summer 2017
