Thread: Amanda's pillowcases!

Great job Amanda! Can't wait to see the quilt you make and the fabric you choose.

Go Girl!!! Now isn't that better than TV!

that is so neat - glad she 'gave in' and made them - I'm sure she had a blast!!

Well, yesterday, I got fed up with the tv on, told her to help me. She helped with the first one, I helped her with the 2nd one and she did the rest by herself!!! She even threaded the sewing machine by herself! This is a child they say is "slow", has ADD....uh huh.....she just needed a SEWING MACHINE!! ;) I'm so proud of her I could bust a seam!!! She's coming back this summer to make a quilt! :thumbup:

Did she make those using the roll-up tubing method? She did a great job
:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Wonderful gift for both of you.

Thank you everyone! I got so excited I forgot to mention where we got the pattern!!! Thanks for reminding me. Yes, it's the Rolled Pillowcase pattern by Jeanne M. Butter at www.rainydayquiltschool.com. The pattern was interesting!!!! I thought she was crazy then VOILA, there's a pillowcase! LOL

Throw the TV out the window when she comes. Take her shopping for fabric--then she'll be hooked and gone. :lol:

You are one fabulous grandma!

You have given a priceless gift, your Granddaughter will always remember!

You have given a priceless gift, your Granddaughter will remember. Your time!

Tell Amanda that we all support her. She did a great job on the pillowcases. Can't wait to see the quilt this summer.

She did a wonderful job. Tell her to keep it up.
