Quilters will assemble blocks for two quilts to use in a musical. Individual blocks help tell the story; completed quilt is shown at the end. ESQ will evaluate outcome based on number of people who attend The Quilters Musical, feedback from attendees, and how many more people attend quilt show. One quilt is a door prize and one quilt for a raffle. 2: Teach young people the art of making quilts. Young people will learn about color choice, patterns, hand stitching, using power tools, and will take home their work piece. Classes will require a completed survey to obtain feedback.
Quilters assembled one block for the Legacy quilt and a matching larger block to use as a prop in the play. ESQG evaluated the outcome with the use of a survey inserted in the program. We also kept a record of class students and program attendees. The Legacy Quilt will hang in the Senior Center for all to see rather than being raffled off. 2: Teach young people the art of making quilts at a workshop and through community education classes. The survey told us that the girls were interested in learning more quilt block stories, were able to list the tools needed to begin their own sewing and that they would recommend the workshop to their friends.
