I do have enough confidence to know that mine will be nice enough to donate....but I have never seen any of her sewing.
My thought is we can just work through them side-by-side each step together. Anything she needs I should be able to help her with.
Any other advice for teaching someone who has never quilted?
Yes, I would say just have her follow what you are doing and explain every step as you do it; answer all her questions, and just go a little slower than you would if you were by yourself. And just be patient. Good luck and enjoy the process!
