6th Grade - "Come Look at Me" Felted Wool Wall Hanging









The Sixth Grade Class has learned to sew!   After two class periods of learning the blanket stitch, students designed a tree as a place and symbol of growth, wisdom and exploration.   Students stitched together little circles and leaves out of recycled felted wool from old skirts and pants in order to fill the bow of their growing tree. Many kept sewing all sorts of special pieces, enough for pillows, too!!! Putting in many extra hours, students completed this labor or love.

A special thanks to Nancy Eakin, who sewed the wall hanging together, Beth DelDucco, who did a lot of blanket stitch work, and Susan Mittan who put the pillows together.

Value:  Priceless!
Donor:  6th Grade Class
