SESSION 1 - September 19
Introduction to Falcons Quilt! We received a "Welcome Goody Bag" of Falcons Quilt pencils, pens, stickers and a purple ribbon rubber duck. We explained how Falcons Quilt got started and what we do. Permission slips were distributed as well as information about the Falcons Quilt website. We discussed Project #1 - the nine patch - and which fabric we might want. We mentioned whether or not we had any previous sewing experience. We learned about the sewing machines used by Falcons Quilt. Each student will get her own sewing machine, but they are all the same model. This will help us to help each other if we run into issues or have questions. Finally, we learned the three things we must master to earn our Falcons Care stuffed animal - how to thread the machine, wind a bobbin, and list the 12 characteristics of an abuser.
