I found the girls 8-15 year olds, preferred making clothes, purses, craft items.... Not so much* quilty* items. Maybe a gift certificate to a store ( like Joanne's) that is near her where she could find patterns or books of projects that interest her. A subscription to the Simplicity magazine, pillow projects ( girls love decorative pillows) and, ask her! She may have a wish list of projects, supplies, tools, fabrics she really wants. I always ask my granddaughter's what they would like, want, need first then go from there locating items on her list & adding. Remember young people have their own likes, dislikes, and whimsical personalities, try to nurture hers, don't expect her to conform to our ideas.
