“…the beds were neat under their patchwork quilts. The rays of the setting sun came through the windows and filled the house with golden light.”
Quilting and sewing were common activities in the Ingalls household as seen throughout the books and TV show. Quilts were an important part of their daily lives – a way of reusing scrap fabric, staying warm, and adding beauty to the home. These free, educational printables emphasize Language Arts goals and objectives on a quilt theme.
