My niece wants to learn!
I made both of my nieces a Jelly Roll Race quilt to cuddle under while watching TV. My oldest niece who is 13, asked me how long it took to make the quilt. I told her the truth, that it takes me longer because I work on quilts when I can but it didn't take all that much time total. She asked me if I would show her how to do it! I am so excited!
I have to take her fabric shopping and I have to decide what kind of machine to get her. I am not going to make her learn on a vintage mechanical machine but, she isn't getting a Bernina or a Pfaff either! I think for starting out piecing a Brother with needle up/down and thread cutter with a few decorative stitches will be just fine for her.
I'm thinking rail fence for her first quilt.
