Teaching 10 yr. old how to quilt...
 

My DD & family just moved back here from Texas where her husband was in Army. My oldest GD wanted to make a quilted purse...so I made the quilt sandwich for her...showed her how to quilt around the flowers with free motion...left the room so she would feel relaxed & let her quilt. She did wonderful...and about half way thru she came out into the livingroom and said " Grandma you know what I want for my birthday? A sewing machine" Yes I am beaming with joy. I am so proud of her work ~! Alas,,,a quilter is born. Thanks for looking. [ATTACH=CONFIG]409737[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]409738[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]409739[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]409740[/ATTACH]

How wonderful! She is a cutie and she is doing great!

She is a beautiful little girl and with you as a teacher she has a great future. Pretty soon she will be sharing pictures of her quilts.

Her quilting is looking good and she certainly looks at home behind your machine.

Congratulations on your recruiting efforts! I know this cute girl will have fun making the purse and other future projects.

I love the story of her you shared, and she is a very pretty girl. I like her birthday wishes. She is going to have fun as a pretty sewer/quilter.

I just love it when a new quilter is borne. She is a pretty lil thing and is doing so well quilting. I haven't even tried FMQ with a DM. I have a LA so thats what I do. She is braver then I.

wow, her quilting is better than mine :)

You will both be making memories that last a lifetime! Enjoy!

You are sharing a love of quilting that she will never outgrow. What fond memories you are making with her!
