FFA Quilt

We live in a smaller agricultural town, that is really cool. In our Schools we have FFA ( Future Farmers of America).    It is such a great organization. Every year they have a silent auction and live auction to raise funds for the kids to pursue their projects, events, and competitions.

This year I made a Quilt for the Silent Auction..... It's also my ALYOF April goal.... the Auction is May 2nd.... No procrastinating here !!

Ready to see it?


Ta-da...  I took it to the Ag Teacher/FFA Advisor - and the kids posed for me ;-)


And this is it laying on the floor


In the small areas between the Emblems I quilted FFA

And in corners I did a Star.
As Farmers/Ranchers/Ag kids are rising Stars
( PS - if you ate tonite.... thank a farmer/rancher)


Then in the big Borders I quilted the FFA Creed
Learning to Do
Doing to Learn
Earning to Live
Living to Serve

And that is it - Ta da

It will be in the Silent Auction
the first weekend of May

What a nice quilt for the silent auction! The quilting is amazing; the corners really add a nice pop, too.

Awesome!! I love it...VERY cool! I'm all about FFA and 4-H programs. I think they teach kids so many benificial life skills...hard work, team work, leadership skills, networking, volunteering...just to name a few. Well done! That'll be a great addition to the auction!

Great job Sue! Those kids sure look proud of it :) I know it will help raise lots of $$$ for the FFA effort. And yes, I did eat tonight .... fish (thanking the fishermen), but of course I had fries and okra with it, so thanking the farmers for sure!
