Although my daughter is very a very artistic and creative 9 years old kid, she doesn't have the slightest interest in sewing. I was the same until 35 years old, so I don't despair :-) My 7 old boy, on the contrary, have impressive sewing skills for his age.
She created an awesome diamond pattern with the coloring sheet. She have very clear ideas in her head when it come to colors.
ha! you had me laughing about the Christmas tree in a corner in January ... end of January!
Not here though, as mine will be down before the 12th day.
Great that you have a designer in the making!!!
And too, perhaps once you start stitching and she sees it starting to come to life with the PPd blocks, she'll want to do some of the stitching too.
That's the joy of PPing, two can sew and know the blocks/pieces will fit together.
And you can get some pretty impressive results, which may help her to fall in love and want to do more sewing after her quilt is made.
Maybe now, you need to turn your son loose, to create his very own design too?
