Kids are so cool. They just know how to make their own fun. Lately, several of my mama friends have been emailing me pictures of creations made by their cooped-up Arizona summertime kids. I was surprised to hear what they used as inspiration—my Giggle & Squeak quilt pattern templates! I am totally inspired to make a coloring/art book when I see these kids using my templates in such creative ways. I particularly like the framed creations by Lily. Kids don’t need any help from me to celebrate their inner artists. Rather, I need help from them to remember to think creatively and find inspiration from the things that are right in front of me. Give your sewing templates to your kids and see what summer fun you can make!
These girls used the paper backing from their mom’s appliqué templates to make their own critter faces.
I’m going to do this! My 7 year old has already been looking at the pattern with such interest.
I’ve been away from your blog for a month and missed so much. You’ve been busy! Good busy, though, from the looks of things. xoxo
