Keep it simple so as not to be overwhelming. As she progresses you can "gift" her on occasion with additional supplies.
I attended a class for hand quilting because I wanted to make an entire quilt by hand from start to finish. The book used is "Learning to Quilt, a Beginner's guide" by Leisure Art and has 25 lessons (blocks) to hand piece and hand quilt, with templates for both. It is a Leisure Art book and can be ordered online for about $9.00. The class consisted of 8-10 seasoned quilters. Only 2 of us completed all 25 blocks and finished the quilt. Each lesson has a different block so covers a lot of different simple techniques. I highly recommend this book as it is clear and isn't intimidating. I will add that it took me a couple years to complete as I was doing other things.
