What to Teach a First Time Quilter (Child)
This weekend I have the privilege of teaching two young girls (11 and 9) how to make their first quilt.
The older girl as a wee bit of machine experience, the younger one has none.
We have 2 machines available to us (older ones).
We only have one afternoon, and I'll say 3 hours max for attention span. I don't know my grreat nieces very well, but the older one can really concentrate; the younger is a livewire.
What would you suggest I prepare ahead of time to take along to make it fun and enjoyable? What pattern? Any tips at all? I've taught children lots of things, but not quilting.
I won't be doing this at home, so I have to pack up everything. Organization will be key.
