I am so proud of my step-daughter. A couple of months ago she came to a quilting day with me and a couple of gals from our church. A fun day for all of us, and a learning day for her. She made a placemat using the tube method. She was SOOOO proud of herself.

This past week, she asked me to take her to Joanns to help her pick a dress pattern and fabric. She made excellent choices. She brought everything here one evening and had me show her how to cut it out. No sewing done since then as she is away to the lake with friends for the weekend.

We have another quilt day coming up and she is super keen to come again. She wants to make a lap quilt with a jelly roll I bought for her. (Her choice. :) )

She leaves us for college in the fall, so I am so happy that she is getting in a few lessons before going.

What a wonderful thing for the two of you to share. Thanks for introducing another young lady to the joys of sewing and quilting.

That's great that she seems to like it! I see you are in Minnesota. Does she need a beginner sewing machine? I have a Singer that I won't use. It's one of the cheap ones from Target....but it's a machine! Just let me know, I'd be more than willing to let her have it!
