10-year old standing on a dresser to quilt her first quilt
 

when my youngest granddaughter made her first quilt it was pretty important to her that she do it all herself- so we tipped a dresser on it's side for her to stand on so she could quilt it :thumbup:[ATTACH=CONFIG]326730[/ATTACH]

That is totally awesome. She looks like a pro:)

Something for her (and you of course) to be very proud of!

Hopefully my daughter will catch the quilting bug. Tell her she is inspiring!!

That's awesome!!! She will love this pic when she gets older :)

You should have your granddaughter write about her quilt making experience. Send both the story and picture to Handiquilter.....she might get on their website

well done. I started to sew when I was 8 but nobody taught me to quilt, just think of all those lost years when I could have been quilting

Way yo go !!!!

talk about learning the modern way of quilting!!!

Looks like she is in deep concentration. Yup, think you have a career quilter in the family now.

WOW that is pretty impressive!!! Grandma must have taught her well.. Thanks for sharing.

That is awesome. What a beautiful thing to see.

This is awesome!!!!

I think this is GREAT! Start them young and they'll have a lifetime of enjoyment ahead of them.

oh goodness...don't let OSHA see that....yikes...but glad she wanted to learn how!

Looks like you've got a life-long quilting buddy!

How neat!!

That's darling! Looks like she's doing a great job, too! The colors in that quilt are terrific. :)

Way to go. You go girl and keep it up. You will be a pro quilter some day.

That is awesome. Someone to help with the quilting. Always nice to have someone to quilt with. Love the color of her quilt. Would love to see the finished quilt.

not worried a bit --- i also have steps for people who are shorter than me to use when quilting that are not as high as her (platform)- she had a step-stool ladder to get up- and it was totally stable- we've had many kids since quilt their quilts with this (platform/dresser)- and have been checked out for safety.
this is kind of an old picture- i just happened to come across it and share it- she is now 15-
the only thing osha rules said the kids could not do was use a rotory cutter...they had to cut with scissors-or have an adult cut for them. this was taken in the sewing school almost 6 years ago....we've come a long way since then :)

she looks like she is having fun wtg!!!!

That's fantastic! I would love to see the whole quilt when she gets it done.

How wonderful another generation is into quilting. Does she have her own little fabric stash yet?

I think this is a great idea! she's adorable. the machine's bigger than she is :)

WOW she is starting young and looks like she knows what she is doing. Great picture.

Priceless picture!! What a great work area!!

that's awesome! Tehehehe, I'm adoptable and you wouldn't even have to let me stand on a dresser to use the machine LOL

Good for her!

How exciting! We will all be taking classes from her one of these days!!!

definitely a serious quilter.

Bless her heart! Please post a picture when it's all finished!

That will be a very fun memory.

She looks very determined!

That is awesome!!!

Can we see her quilt?
