Had my granddaughter for spring break...she made a pillow for her Aunt in N.C. (her first star--Ohio star). Then we needed to have something quick and easy to make for her mama for Easter...so I taught her about whole cloth quilting and cross-hatch quilting; she got 2 pillows made and she was so happy she actually got 3 projects done in 2 days of quilting. She's 13 and loves to sew on my Janome 9000 (which she will inherit when she's 16). I'm a proud grammie!
