What a wonderful way to spend a weekend. She will remember this for the rest of her life. Sewing is a life skill that is too often not taught anymore and yet it is something that we can enjoy every day.

What a precious time you had with someone you enjoy being with.

The pattern is from the 'Quiltmakers 100 Blocks, Vol 4' magazine and is the Quatrefoil (Block 330) block. I have done a smaller one in red, white and black and thought I would try out the full size one in 2 colours. There are more rows to be added but it looks good so far.

I should add that Heidi had never used a sewing machine until she started making her blocks. Following the lines on the foundation pieced blocks gave her the confidence to start and continue and I think is why she has enjoyed it so much. But I got her to make a 9 patch (with no lines to follow) - just using the 1/4 guide on the sewing machine and she managed fine, even unpicking one row because the seams didn't match.

Wish I had someone like you to get started with! Looks like a great time!

Heidi...welcome to our world of quilting.
I see a budding quilter with lots of talent.
Lynnie...I love the pattern and color of your quilt...

Sounds like bliss to me too. She has done a great job with a scrappy and I like the effect of your one also.

I love seeing them young, there are not enough young ones in this industry. I still feel sometimes out of place when I take classes and am always the youngest one there so it is nice to see kids starting to love it
