Stitching
Last Year’s
third grade classes learned about Colonial samplers and their history. Then
they created these beautiful initial pieces.
First students practiced making cursive bubble letters and these were
traced on to burlap. Then students painted
the inside of their letters using tempera paints, and finally it was time to
sew! Students selected a yarn color that
would contrast with their paint selection and used a running stitch to outline
their letters concentrating on creating a nice even stitch. Some students choose to add a border or other
embellishment and the results are fantastic!
