Fairhope Middle School recently hosted the Baldwin County Family and Consumer Science teachers’ professional development workshop entitled Crazy Quilting with Attitude. Barbara Randle, nationally renowned speaker and author, taught the creative workshop in color theory and the art of crazy quilting with embellishments. During the workshop, the teachers learned new techniques while assembling a designer bag.

These techniques will add an exciting element to their classroom instruction as students learn to utilize material scraps. In addition to the workshop, the Alabama Family and Consumer Science supervisor gave a presentation on creating career ready curriculum in FACS.
