I have two granddaughters. They both quilt. The 10 year old enjoys sewing more than the 13 year old, but I have finally discovered what really gets her creative juices flowing...crazy quilts or designing new quilts. She (the 13 yo) is also fantastic with color. I am eager to see how her talent developes. They both have free access to my scrap bag and come up with really cute projects. I bought each of them a Kenmore for Christmas several years ago and the machines are really getting a workout.
