Mrs. Frazier's first through fifth grade Art students are touring the National Quilt Museum this week as an introduction to a lesson on quilting. During the tours students are looking at the quilts, seeing how they are made, and gathering inspiration. During the lesson each student will make a quilt block. The blocks will be sewn together to make grade-wide quilt. "Seeing how the quilts are displayed and how they are made brings the whole art-making process together," said Mrs. Frazier. Mrs. Frazier said they hope to display the quilts during Quilt Week next April so the students can be part of the Quilt Week Celebration.
