I got Kelsey a little bitty toy Singer sewing machine for her birthday. She loves it but it didn't sew very well, but she did a good job sewing and learned how to sew carefully. (Keep the fingers out of the way of the needle.) So, today I brought home a Janome Sew Mini machine. It's a real machine, with a bobbin just like grandmas. She loves it. Today she started sewing on her first baby doll quilt using my scraps. What fun!!! :D :D :D

Sorry. I forgot the pictures.

What great pictures! you can tell the intensity of her concentration. You must be a good teacher.

Way to go Kelse! Joining the ranks of the rest of the yongsters Learning to sew!!

How cute!! I bet it is going to be the best quilt!! Skeat

Awww! Kelsey is adorable and looks like she loves her new Janome.

I love it!!!!!! I wish my GD was old enough to start learning!!

Aww!!!! Such a cutie.

Awww, she looks so sweet. Post her baby doll quilt when she finishes it. We'd love to see it.

Way to go Kelsey!! Another quilter in the making. I love how hard she is concentrating-you can see it in her face-adorable!

Oh my goodness--how awesome. :D

She's so cute! And I can tell she's a quilter. What a sweetie.

Boy, she is so focused! What a cutie! Good work, Grandma!

What Precious Moments! She will always remember the joy she experienced as you taught her to sew.

Cute little one! How refreshing to see children learn with pleasure! One can tell that all her attention is to what she is doing. Great picture!

I love the look on her face in the last picture. I would love to know her comments......my grandaughter..was frustated by toy machine also, set her up on the real ones :D

Oh How precious is that? Look at that sweet little face consentating so hard. Oh grandma YOU DID GOOD! Keep us up to date on this little angel

How precious! Way to go, Grandma :thumbup: I just know you two will be sewing up a storm (and I don't mean this week's forecast either!!!)

You are doing a great job Kelsey, and it looks like Grandma is a very good and loving teacher. Make lots of treasured memories together.



Her Janome is just like the Janome hello kitty I got for my GD to learn on. It runs great and I can interchange the feet with my Janome and it uses the same size bobbins. I love it in fact I am taking it on vacation with me to use. :lol:

That is so cute! She is really a cutie!
Can you adopt me and buy me a Janome?
But, I want a BIG one! lol

She is so darling! And so happy to be sewing! Her look of concentration is so cute!

What fun! She looks so serious. Can't wait to see her quilt!

Way to go Kelsey...the first thing that struck me also was her concentration, and just look how careful she is at placing her fingers well away from the needle...great induction taking place here!!

Would love to see her first creation, please post lots of progress pictures :D

Such cute photo's. How old is she? Wish I had started back when i was that young

Can Kelsey come and play?? She looks right at home! You are very kind and it's great to see she shares your interest!

Another quilter in the making. She'll love this time she spends with Grandma.

Kelsey is 5. She lives with me (so does her mommy). Today was my day off so as usual she came and got me up. Usually her first question is whats for breakfast. Today it was "Can I please sew now." I have created a monster. LOL. We had to go to the fabric store to got material to put in her own tote. Can you tell how much I am loving this. :D :D :D

Ahhh how cute!! you can see how careful she's being with those fingers too!! Great job Grandma!!! She is precious!!

lol how cute and boy is she focused must have eaten frosted shreaded wheat for breakfast for her focus. Great job keep up the good work and can't wait to see her doll quilt.

Now that's PRECIOUS!!!!!!

i picked up a janoma gem for my daughter when "my" quilt shop closed down a few years ago - and have made a date FINALLY with my daughter to have a sewing day next week so she can make something on her own machine - she has sewn on mine alittle bit, but thought it would be nice to set her up on her own!

These pictures of Kelsey are wonderful!
