i couldn't believe she had the attention span to finish in one day too.
we would sew for 90 minutes and then play 3 games of air hockey.
i started her with pillows about 3 months ago. then about 1 month ago i taught her to make the origami purse (the link is on this forum).
she made 2 origami purses (1 for each grandmother). her and her mom each have 1 too - so all 4 ladies have the same handbag for when they have lunch together.
when we were done with the quilting she picked out a bunch of ribbons and some batik fabrics because she wants to make a woven ribbon handbag next time she comes over for her mom.
i just adore her. she's very mature for her age. she does a little show called "samantha on the spot"
here's a link to her you tube shows
