Hello to all from Mishawaka, Indiana!
Neither extended holidays, nor fog, nor snow storms, nor ice storms, nor blizzards kept us from spending some time with the Traveling Quilt this year!
Our third grade buddies at Hums School got to enjoy the quilt first with our experienced “musher”
Mrs. Janet Hoke. Mrs. Hoke created the Iditaread program at Hums School over ten years ago. Though now retired, she can’t seem to stay away from all of our Iditarod activities, and we are so glad to have her continue to be part of them!
My sixth grade class had an abbreviated time with the quilt due to school closings and the holiday break, but we have begun creating our own book cover quilt. It will display the covers of all of our Iditarod books we enjoy each year during the race. We will be sure to send you a picture of the finished quilt later!
~ Mrs. Nancy Darr
