A Quiltin' Bee

It won't be long until it is time for ACA's 3rd annual auction. Every year the auction has been a huge success with the class projects bringing in some of the biggest bucks. The even grades (K, 2nd, 4th, 6th...) make a quilt each year and there is always some fierce competition to see who gets the privilege of bringing it home. Last week the classes started work on their quilts and I can already tell that there will be awesome quilts for sale again this year.

Second grade's theme this year is "Our Heroes", and all the kids did a fantastic job painting firetrucks, dalmatians, firemen, and fire hats. Trey did a wonderful job with his fire hat and axe.


My class, the fourth grade, is doing a butterfly themed quilt and they did a remarkable job on their butterflies. I am very proud of how hard they worked and the time they took to make their butterflies beautiful.


The kindergarten class always does a graduation themed quilt. This year they got to paint their cap and gown self-portraits and use their hand prints to make butterflies.


They have all done a fantastic job and I can't wait to see the final products on auction night!
