A couple years ago my then 8 year old daughter asked for a sewing machine for Christmas and joined a sewing club at school. I went shopping to find her an inexpensive machine and instead came home with one for me! Oh, and a few days later ordered one for her. Together we took a few sewing lessons and I quickly realized how much I enjoyed piecing quilt tops. I finally actually quilted my first! My daughter is now 10 and sews almost daily - she's learning alterations and how to bling and personalize her own clothes. And yes, even sew on a button! She enjoys sewing "projects" but I think someday she will start quilting, too. Who knew two years ago either of us would be sewing or quilting? Certainly not me!
