Last night a friend of mine rang me up and asked if I'd be willing to teach her 6 year old daughter how to sew. She's a sweet kid who has come over and learned a little sewing with me several months ago. She's about to become a big sister (which makes her "almost a grown up", she says) and she wants to learn how to sew so she can make "dollies and blankets" for her baby brother. Isn't that adorable!?
I said yes, by the way, but told her I need to wait a month before we start. She doesn't know it yet but I have a "big sister" quilt I'm working on for this same little girl, and I also have a queen-sized wedding quilt I've barely begun and both need to be FINISHED in 3 weeks. Ouch!
