I would recommend that you ask her if she wants to do clothing or quilting, as the skills for each are similar but different. If she wants to make a quilt, start with a simple 4-patch or 9-patch, and she will learn sewing a good 1/4" seam, matching seams, chain piecing and pressing. You can do scrappy or planned blocks, and she wil learn about coordinating / contrasting colors. Then she'll learn about sashing, borders, batting, layering, quilting and binding.
