my daughter, now 23, sews but prefers photography and jewelry design. My god-daughter, now 9, loves to sew, made a wall-hanging with my help (mostly supervision) last summer and has made great progress on a quilt for her bed. It would be finished if her mother (my best friend) did not overbook everything. there's been no time for Lily to come visit to finish the quilt. All it needs is the border attached, the back pieced (at her request--I tried to make it easier but...she is my girl, after all!) and quilted. We have picked out the pantograph for the quilt; I have a mid-arm, HQ16.
