Her first "practice" quilt
 
2 Attachment(s)
Awhile back I posted that my oldest daughter wanted me to
teach her how to sew and quilt.

I purchased a cheap sewing machine for her from WalMart and
gave her more than enough supplies to get her started. Yesterday
she even joined the QB.

This is a picture of Didrika2013 (my daughters QB name) first attempt
at making a "quilt" its to small to be a lap quilt. But she was to excited
to wait for "sewing lessons" and such also she wanted to get a "feel" for
the rotary cutter (never used one before).

This is what she made, of course I will give her kudos for trying and
not shying away from it. Sure looks better then the first attempt I did.

She used a purple and teal for the backing.

I love the fabrics and love the colors, good job. I'm glad that her "feel" for the rotary cutter wasn't a literal feel.

Yeah. Another quilter is born. Great quilt and it was made with love, who could ask for more.

It's fun to know we've got a new and very excited quilter. Good job to both of you - newbie and teacher.

She did great - glad she is excited and hopefully you'll have many happy hours of quilting with your daughter!!

Certainly is better than my first attempt. It is lovely. She is on her way and I hope she continues quilting and finds joy is the creation and in giving quilts to others to bring them joy. Nothing better than that,is there?
