My grands were here over Spring break and this is what we did...

I'm still learning freehand quilting.

Very nice! It's wonderful that your grandchildren are learning to give to others so young!

Lovely quilt, you sure look like you had fun, I do miss those years when the kids were little and you could do fun things with them, I have my great neice to stay on the hols and we usually get out the paint brushes!

Great job - the kids did wonderfully with the layout. Good way to keep them busy, and teach them a skill that they can use their whole lives.

I just can't any of the girls in my family interessted in sewing, and I've sewed since I was about 9 years old. My passion!! But I do have a sweet niece that is really getting into the quilting, so I am enjoying her excitement as she tries a new pattern.
