I teach children to sew. One of my students took out her mom's rags from under the sink and hand sewed them together. She was just 7 at the time. Her folks thought they had better put her in a sewing class. Well, I am the lucky teacher. I was present when she was awarded a $25 check from our local quilting guild I belong to. Katie had pieced, and free motioned quilted her first quilt at age 8 and it also won a big ribbon at the fair. She has made several since and donated them to the Humane Society. I say get that girl into lessons and enable that desire with tools and fabric.
