Our Portland: Collaborative mapping with Ainsworth Students

In December, I collaborated with two classes of second grade students at Ainsworth Elementary to create a collective fabric map of Portland. The project began with each student drawing their own map of Portland. I transferred a piece of each of their maps onto fabric and then had them each add their piece to a large collective map. They also drew pictures and wrote stories about important Portland places that will be added around the map to create a final fabric piece to be auctioned in March.

Please come to this:

Please join me at Field Work on Thurs., November 18th for an Open House and Sewing Party. I will provide vegetarian chili and beverages and invite you to come socialize and help make pieces for the Neighborhood Quilting Project. You are also welcome to just drop by and check out the project. No sewing experience is necessary, and most of the sewing will be done by hand. Come any time between 6 and 9 pm... it will be a fun evening of crafting, socializing, and food.

Field Work is located on SW Jefferson and 11th (map to Field Work).
