Hand Quilting

I've wanted to teach my kids how to hand quilt for a long time.  One of the main reasons we started homeschooling was to be able to do projects and activities as a family.  I have had this piece of fabric for a long time and figured this would be a great item to learn on, as the kids have also been learning their states &

capitals.  Hand sewing (along with many other hands-on activities) supposedly helps with hand writing and in helping with brain connections vital for reading and comprehension. If that's true, great!  But my main reason was the fond memories I have of hand quilting with my mom and sisters-visiting, watching movies, and enjoying each others company while we accomplished something neat together.
