QUILTING
BADGE WORK Developed
by Sharon L. Thompson Tucson Quilters Guild |
||||||||
Your troop can earn Girl Scout USA approved quilting badges! |
Quilt-It! projects provide fun and creative ways
for Brownies, Juniors, and Cadette/Seniors to learn basic quilting
skills. The Try-It, Badge, and Interest Project were developed by
members of the Tucson Quilters Guild
Education Committee. |

Quilt-It! projects
have been successfully used by Brownie, Junior, and Cadette/Senior troops in
the Girl Scouts of Southern Arizona. The Council has also processed badge
orders for over 1,537 girls from 30 states!
Attractive quilts are produced, with both the scouts and their leaders
enjoying the work. Brownies make basic
four-patch pot holders, Juniors create
simple placemats, Cadette/Seniors create more elaborate quilts of their own design. Elementary skills are taught, so that all
work can be completed by hand sewing and quilting. Sewing machines are an option for more
advanced girls. |

This
web site provides all of the information, directions, and leader support that
are needed for a troop to undertake and successfully complete a Quilt-It! project.
The projects can be carried out during consecutive troop meetings, or
in a longer workshop setting. They are
also ideally suited for day camp programs. |
