I mentioned in another thread that my granddaughter is visiting for the week. She's 15 yrs old, has never sewn (mom doesn't even own a sewing machine!) and said at the beginning of the week that she didn't want to do it. She didn't even want to try. Well, yesterday, I got fed up with the tv on, told her to help me. She helped with the first one, I helped her with the 2nd one and she did the rest by herself!!! She even threaded the sewing machine by herself! This is a child they say is "slow", has ADD....uh huh.....she just needed a SEWING MACHINE!! ;) I'm so proud of her I could bust a seam!!! She's coming back this summer to make a quilt! :thumbup:

She did a wonderful job with those!!! Maybe this summer she will want to make herself a little quilt!!

Awesome job Amanda :thumbup: those are beautiful!!!
I can't wait to see your quilt this summer :D:D:D |
Awesome job! What a fun summer she is going to have! Looking forward to seeing her quilt. :)

Most ADD kids can focus when they have something of interest. She probably was hesitant because she feared failure. She not only made pillowcases, she proved she can do it. Plus ADDpeople are very creative.
I am ADD and so are my sons, so I should know. |
You know it just came to me. Perhaps this summer she could make pillowcases for the one millon pillowcase drive from American Patchwork and Quilting,

Great job - both Amanda and Grandmother! She learned a new skill and you were able to find her talents!
