Granddaughter made her first quilt!
 

My 9 year old granddaughter Kristin drew her newborn cousin's name for Christmas and was puzzled about what gift she could give him. I suggested she could make him a quilt and she loved the idea. She did a great job and really enjoyed it. We used a simple pattern, backed it with minkee, (no batting) sewed right sides together and then turned it right side out, and tied it to finish. She can hardly wait to give it to baby Malcolm!

Thats a great gift, one that will last for years to come. She did great :)

I would be excited to give it too. What a special gift that will be loved forever. She did a wonderful job and perhaps this will spark her to make another.

Terriffic! Welcome into the sisterhood (with some brothers sprinkled in) of quilters, Kristen!

Great job!! I can tell we have another quilter joining our group.

She did a wonderful job, maybe she will have a new passion.

Good for her. She did a great job. Hope to see more from her next year. BrendaK

She did a wonderful job!!! Such a graet gift!!!!!

Congratulations to her. I predict that will become a favorite, cuddly "blanky."

She is just a beauty and so is her quilt! Great job!!
