2nd quilt by my Granddaughter 8yrs. old
 
1 Attachment(s)
Last year my granddaughter asked to make a quilt at 7 years old and I was so proud. And to my surprise she is still interested in quilting and made another one this year. Only since I gave my self a long arm for my birthday. When she finished the top she also quilted it. Now if I can just get her to sew the binding on. LOL:D

She has done a beautiful job on her quilt. You must be so proud of her.

A beautiful young lady, with a beautiful quilt! I bet it won't be long before she's doing the binding, as well! :thumbup:

Lovely quilt. How wonderful that you can share this with her! You are both truly blessed.

Wow! I love her fabric choices, and the design of the quilt is really cool. You and your granddaughter are making wonderful memories and building skills at the same time!

What a great quilt, so glad she loves quilting.

GailG 09-28-2013 02:53 AM

Beautiful child!! And a beautiful quilt! Perhaps she could begin by doing the binding by bringing over the backing to finish.

nunnyJo 09-28-2013 02:59 AM

she is one talented little girl, hugs for her

That is a spectacular quilt and I will be sure to show it to my grandsons who are also 8 and learning to quilt. The design is interesting, with challenge, and the colors modern and bright. Congratulations to your grand-daughter. I hope you two have many many hours of fun together!

Wow! I am impressed! I was 8 yrs old when I made my 1st dress (with mom's help of course) but quilts intimidated me until I was about 50! Your DGD has a lifetime of fun ahead of her!

​Cute quilt and well done!

maryb119 09-28-2013 04:18 AM

She did a beatuiful job on her quilt! I love to hear about kids learning to sew. It is a "life skill" she will enjoy for the rest of her life. Her time with Grandma is special, too. Thanks for teaching her and thanks for sharing it with us.

DianneK 09-28-2013 04:27 AM

my 14 year old granddaughter no longer wants to piece, just longarm...so use caution!!! BTW...your granddaughter did a great job

PaperPrincess 09-28-2013 04:29 AM

Beautiful quilt and quilter! She has a real flair for color, and it looks like she has a wonderful teacher!

tessagin 09-28-2013 04:30 AM

She does beautiful work. She's not my granddaughter but I'm proud of her too!

QuiltnNan 09-28-2013 04:37 AM

Isn't it fun to have another generation take so much pride in quilting?! You are doing a good teacher! Congrats!

How precious to be able to inspire her and watch her grow in her love of quilting.

watson's mom 09-28-2013 07:06 AM

What a great little quilt and a very pretty granddaughter as well. She looks so pleased with her quilt as well she should be. Before you know it she will have her own avatar and thread on her like the rest of us. LOL. Congratulations on your new longarm machine and thank you for sharing.

quiltgran2 09-28-2013 07:17 AM

She should be so proud of the skills she has as she's produced a terrific quilt. I think the color choices are great and it's beautiful.

QuiltNama 09-28-2013 07:22 AM

She is a real cutie and love, love, love her quilt. Nice job

BrendaK 09-28-2013 08:54 AM

She will get there. Right now I am sure that's it's just too much fun to quilt. She is a beautiful girl that puts together beautiful quilts. You have a right to be proud. BrendaK

Dolphyngyrl 09-28-2013 09:26 AM

Wow she is already really talented, won't be surprised if I see some nice work in shows down the line. Its nice to see young people quilt.

gramqlts 09-28-2013 09:41 AM

Another quilter in the making!!! Love it and love her quilt. She is so adorable and looks so proud of her work. My oldest granddaughter just turned 5 and can't wait to start quilting so she can make quilts like her Grammy and her Grammy can't wait to teach her! Enjoy the moment as they grow up way too fast!!!!!

craftynell 09-28-2013 11:06 AM

Congratulations you did a super job. Love your quilt!!!

Grandma Nancy 09-28-2013 11:09 AM

You have every reason to be proud. How great that your Granddaughter shares this interest with you. Let's hope that she continues to share it with you in the upcoming years. Grandchildren are a gift from God.

JuneBillie 09-28-2013 11:23 AM

A very pretty girl, with a very pretty quilt. She is a quilter for sure. Both the young lady and quilt are simply beautiful.

justflyingin 09-28-2013 11:59 AM

Tell her a lady in Poland told her congratulations! (and tell her I said to keep up the good work!) So glad you have time to help her--so congratulations to you as well!

sue.ross.8782 09-28-2013 12:50 PM

What a focused and talented little girl. She did a really lovely job. How wonderful that you two can share an interest and time together, and that you can teach her a valuable skill.

Annz 09-28-2013 02:47 PM

Wow your gd is very talented. Hope she continues.
