My only granddaughter has no interest in sewing but great niece (9 yrs) wanted to learn to quilt so - she comes to my sewing room and we "quilt". She is left handed and I am not so that was a challenge - she has her own scissors so that helped and I reversed the ironing board set-up. She has a lead foot and her machine has no speed adjustment but nshe is getting better with controlling the speed. She has picked her fabrics from my stash, cut out her own squares and sewn them first in rows and then the rows into a top for an American Girl doll quilt. Borders have to be added and she has chosen to tie it off but I hope she will be able to complete by end of year. It has been so much fun to spend time with her, see thing thru her eyes and bond together. She says Great Aunt Judy is cool and fun so I guess my teaching has been successful and hopefully she will continue her "quilting" long after I'm gone.
