Wow! what a talented grand daughter you have, OH! My! your long arm is just like the one I bought 4 weeks ago. I love it, how do you like your's? I have mine set up for 10 FT. Have you used the laser light to quilt with yet? I haven't but plan to try it soon. Thanks for sharing your grand daughter with us.

My GD aged 10, is interested in quilting and I know from my experience that it is so cool to build memories. I know you are proud of your GD. I wish you lots and lots of fun. Now you have a cohort and another reason to buy fabric!

Great job! Binding can be boring.

You're so very fortunate to have your granddaughter close, I have 2 - ages 3 and 6 altho they don't live near us. You have a beautiful granddaughter and beautiful quilt. I love the colors and pattern. Happy quilting !!

What a talented GD you have, and 2 quilts by the time she was 8 years old. WOW. You are definitely a good teacher. I'm hoping my DGD might want me to teach her to quilt some day, but not sure she could sit still long enough. LOL.

It is so wonderful to see so many young people getting interested in quilting. Gives one hope that the art will never die away. Congratulate her on a beautiful job

I was just at a show and several of us older folks wondered if we were the last of the dinosaurs who had learned from grandmothers/mothers/aunts. I am so glad to see such a beautiful young quilter with a passion for fabric. She may not do it every year. I took several years off due to family and jobs-now I am back at it and it brings me peace and comfort to know I am using ideas and techniques that my grandmother showed me.
A beautiful young lady and a beautiful quilt. She will remember this forever.
