Thread: I'm such a proud mom!

My 17 year old daughter came to me this evening and said, "Mom, will you teach me to make a quilt?"

Like I could say no! So she's sitting beside me at the sewing machine that her great, great, grandma used, and is putting together 4 log cabin squares to make a wall hanging with. She cut the strips herself and after I showed her once how to put the squares together, she's doing it herself So proud!!

Congrats. You must have done something right!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How Lucky you are! I was excited when my daughter made a few small "panel" blankets when she was about 14. I thought for sure she would get the sewing bug. oh well it was nice sharing my love with her even if for a short time.
Today she LOVES to choose fabrics for me to sew! HA!

I feel your pain . . . 3 daughters.Nicole is a a cleaning fanatic. Kiersten is a fantastic, adventourous (sp) cook who gave me 2 dgs's and the 19 yr old, Jordyn, is- well, 19. and helpfull. and I hear she's a great girlfriend! yea. Jordyn at least made a baby quilt for a friend. well, MOST of a baby quilt. But says she didn't like sewing and has no plans of doing anything more than helping me. it's a start.

You ARE blessed. I never had anyone (that I knew) in my family that quilted, nor do I forsee new DIL taking to quilting. I envy all of you that come from long line of quilters or have someone to quilt with.

So happy for you!! Have only one out of 7 daughters interested!! Guess who gets my stash and her Grandmother's first sewing machine when I die!!
