I can't wait to read more responses. Some are hysterical, some very poignant. To me, it is very encouraging when a son/daughter/grandchild is willing to be taught the value of quilting and is brave enough to give it a try. Isn't that what our next generation will carry on?
We are in our last week of a one-month trip to our daughter's in Georgia and my 7-year-old granddaughter made her very first quilt square. She can't wait for our next visit in the Spring.
I didn't start quilting until I was 62 and it is now how I spend most of my time. I am a sponge for learning and grateful it came across my path. The originator of this post has a wonderful opportunity to educate and I think the suggestion to start him on a sewing adventure of his own is excellent.
