My DD finished her first quilt top this weekend. She is so proud of it! I think she did an awesome job! Then, of course, she started in on a new one. LOL She has quickly outgrown the little Janome Mini I bought her and we're now trading off time on my 6600.

She did a great job. You birthed a quilting bud...lucky you :D

We have loads of fun up in my sewing room. DH says we act more like best friends instead of Mom and Daughter. I'll miss her when she goes off to college in August, so I'm creating lots of fun memories now.

Good for her!

Bevanger 03-16-2009 07:04 AM

WOW! That is so cool. I love it.... I bet she had a fantastic teacher :wink:

I LOVE to see Mom's and daughters enjoying quilting together, you are so lucky to be able to share a lovely hobby together Lori!!

Tell your daughter that she has made a real beauty there!!

Maybe you need to think about getting her another machine to take to college so she can keep up the progress :D

I thought about that, but she will be in the school of music and will be carrying a very heavy load along with marching band, pep band, brass quartet, etc, etc.... We decided she'd do the majority of her quilting when she's home on breaks, but she would like to learn to do hand-piecing so she has little things to work on when she ever has down time. She also said she would like to learn to knit, but I've never learned so she's on her own on that one. :oops:

She did an awesome job! But, then again, she has a great teacher!

pocoellie 03-16-2009 07:49 AM

What a great job she did!!! Looks like you're going to have to buy her another machine.LOL

Joan 03-16-2009 08:01 AM

She's a natural, how pretty and she certainly looks proud!

(better hide your stash.....quick....I think she's got the
quilt fever)

She did a great job! I always wished my girls would want to sew or quilt. The middle one, now married with children, decided to take up quilting and sewing. She lives very far away so I don't have a buddy to sew with even now. She did send her first quilt to me at Christmas. When I get the camera away from the kids at home I will send a pic.

Cherish this time with her, too soon they are on to their own lives. I am so jealous! lol

She did a wonderful job. You must be a great teacher! Tell her Congrats from me!

She has done a wonderful job!! You can just see how proud she is, of herself, too. Give her a pat on the back for me & all of us quilters out here.
Thank you for sharing!! :D :D :D

Well it does sound like she will have a lot of kit to carry around, so hand piecing is a great way, are you going to show her the English Paper piece way, it is so easy as you don't need to have a rotary cutter or mat, as the accuracy is achieved by precise paper template cutting by scissors, this is how I made alot of my first quilt :D

That's the plan.... We can both learn!

If you buy squared paper, and draw out the block pattern precisely, then just cut up accurately on all lines, it really is fun to do, I couldn't find paper big enough, so I drew it half scale, then doubled up the squares and re drew each section of block....does that make sense lol!!

mountain-moma 03-16-2009 01:39 PM

she done a good job i know you will miss your quilting buddy

barnbum 03-16-2009 04:31 PM

WOW--she's good!! Very good! Look at those points! And it's unique--just for her. Thanks for sharing--and I look forward to seeing the next one!!

Janstar 03-16-2009 04:36 PM

She did a great job on her quilt! Can't wait to see the next one if she can squeeze it in with her schudule. WOW!

jacquemoe 03-16-2009 04:40 PM

Oh my, she did a wonderful job. Her appliques look very cute. She's well on her way now. Tell her that I said............."You go, girl" She should be proud of her work.

beachlady 03-16-2009 04:40 PM

Great job by your DD. I learned to knit while in college, so maybe someone there can tach her.

kimmers 03-16-2009 04:51 PM

She looks so happy! She did a great job!

Marcia 03-16-2009 06:02 PM

Lori--what a great job your daughter did on her very first quilt!! I know you are proud of her. And what wonderful memories you are making, too.

Rhonda 03-16-2009 06:52 PM

Your DD did a fantastic job! It is very well done. My daughter has always been my best friend so I congratulate you on the relationship you have built. It takes a mother who is involved to create that bond!
My daughter always wanted to quilt from the time she was 5 but she just didn't inherit the quilt gene!! She can make curtains but that is about all.
Enjoy your quilt buddy and her accomplishments!! She deserves the praise! What is she working on for the next quilt?

littlehud 03-16-2009 06:56 PM

What a wonderful quilt. She looks so happy. Hooked, isn't she. Tell her welcome to the club.
