Ha! Wish I could, but I've relied on him so much these past several weeks to do practically everything around here while I'll recovered (and quilted on the couch), that the guilt would be too much for me to stand. Tax season for us starts Jan 2nd and I lose him until May-June. He really needs a break now, however short. Once I am up to it, I'll head downstairs with my almost 6 year old and go on a scavenger hunt - she'll love it!
my niece is 5 and she loves to sew with me and pick out/play with fabric.
you should keep your eyes out for the "children's doll quilt swap" we did one in november.
esqmommy organized the swap and we all had our children make small quilts to swap with each other.
it was great fun and the children just loved it and receiving a surprise quilt was such a tread for them.
Oh., that sounds like a cool idea. I actually picked up a kid's Singer machine on sale for my daughter for her 6th bday this coming April. She loves to help me sew, but has shied away from making her own quilt. Maybe a swap would give her some incentive...I'll keep my eyes out for it. Thx!
