You are so lucky! We've purchased sewing machines for granddaughters but they aren't too enterested and neither is daughter but DDIL has some but she has so many irons in the fire with 2 little ones, her job and all her other projects lol

That's FANTASTIC!! Bless her dear little heart. I hope she catches the quilting bug!
Must be something in the air, my seventeen year old daughter asked me the same thing this week.
So I run right out & bought her a machine of her own, so we can sew together as she learns.
It's so great when our kids share our love of fabric's & quilting.

I'm so happy for you and her hope she ends up loving it and carrys it on to her daughter some day :}
May you always have Love to Share , Health to Spare, and Friends that Care!
I am blessed. Both my daughter and my granddaughter are quilters. Granddaughter is almost 21 and she has been sewing for about 7 years now. She belongs to a Renniasance Guild and made all of her own fancy gowns this past year. She has 4 quilts under her belt. Daughter is doing a quilt for fundraiser for SPCA and 2 for friends for gifts. You should see our dining room!!! A whirlwind of fabrics.
Families are like old quilts....although they tend to unravel at times...each can be stitched back together with love.
How wonderful! And, to be using a machine that has been passed down through the generations. My daughter said she just wouldn't have the patience to do quilting. I'm a bit disappointed for myself, but so happy for you!! What a great way to strengthen your mother/daughter bond. I'm still hoping my daughter will want to try someday.
Creative clutter is better than idle neatness.
She finished the top and basted the layers together last night and it looks wonderful! I'll post pictures this evening. She's a little frusterated with the hand stitching but I told her she needed to at least try it and if she really hates it I'll show her how to do it on the machine.It was very nice sitting side by side with her as she worked and I worked on my kitty place mats- quilted matts go on the back of the sofa for the cats to sleep on. I'm really proud of her.
Blessed are the children of the piecemakers for they shall inherit the quilts!
How wonderful. A new quilter among us.
When it seems like the world is falling to pieces remember that the pieces are falling into place. We are nearing closer to the End Times.
