Hi everyone,
I just wanted to share what I did today with my youngest granddaughter who is 4 years old. Her brother was busy watching IronMan with his papaw.
My ambition this summer was to start my granddaughters learning to quilt. Maria did a great job listening as I was explaining the pressure foot, foot pedal & most important, keeping her fingers away from the metal foot. I started her out on just sewing paper with no thread, then I drew lines for her to follow. She was on her way & Granny had tears streaming down her face as Maria was saying how fun it was to sew like me. I got out a piece of felt & cut it in squares & she started sewing them together with my guidance. Maria sewed for 2 hours. She wants to finish the other squares tomorrow & make me a pin cushion.
IF it goes as she plans, I will post a pic of it!
I originally planned to start them on my machine, but I got this Singer Pixie on a very good clearance. I am so proud of her accomplishments today.
