I have two daughters - 8 & 9 years old. After watching me make a quilt (just recently finished my first top and am working on my second) they are very eager to learn. So we went to the fabric store and got them each a $10.00 FQ bundle of their choice and we had a really fun time cutting and ironing and sewing. They both did really well and will soon each have a small child sized lap quilt of their own making. Not only are they learning a great skill, but it's something we can spend time doing together on rainy days. I just wish we had more than one machine!
