My 7 year old grandaughter, Emily, worked on crumb blocks last nite.
She wants to make a wall hanging when she gets enough made.

Izy your directions were real easy for her to follow. Thanks for doing them for us.

Great job she did!

Ooooh, that's so sweet pam :) And yes, izzy you do make it look easy, thank you :)

You go girl!! :D :wink:

She is so cute! :D :D :D Emily, you did a wonderful job on your blocks, I can't wait to see your quilt! :D :D :D

Good job Emily!

Good job! You'll have enough blocks for your wallhanging in no time!

Those are great, Emily! Are you going to make one for me!? :mrgreen: 8)

that is going to be one beautiful quilt...

Emily - You did a great job - I am so proud to have been able to help you.

A great big well done from me! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Now what are you going to do with them next Emily? :D

That is so sweet Pam. If Emily can do it, I can do it. Do post her finished product.

I say we should all send Emily a piece of fabric to start her own stash for her. If you send me your address I'd love to send her something.

How funny you should say that, she has her own tote with scraps in it

That's a great looking stash she has started!!

She's adorable Pam and her quilt is going to be wonderful when she gets it all done. I love the horse fabric that she picked out! :) Isn't it great when we can get the little ones interested at such a young age? My dgd started at 7 too. She's 20 now and didn't continue, but it was sure fun while it lasted. :D

Way to go Emily!! You're off to a fabulous, fun start! :thumbup: (LOVE your stash :wink: )

Does the fabric with the feet on it have the hands too? Cause I have the same fabric if it does. lol

Mary, the fabric with the feet is only feet, before we knew what her Mother was going to have on the second baby, i made her a quilt in pink and blue feet

I'm sure it was adorable. I had seen some FQ in turqoise with both the hands and feet, so I bought them up, cause they didn't have it in yardage.

That sounds like fun,I would send her something,I see some horses in one of the blocks,I have some horse materail and dogs too.

the future of quilting. excellent. keep up the good work. :!: :!: :!:

She is so sweet, well done on your blocks Emily :thumbup: Fancy having your own collection allready, good for you. If you'd like, Pm me your addy Pam and I'll send her a few small pieces of NZ themed fabric for her collection

You guys are all so sweet. Emily will be so surprised to see all the nice things you have written about her and her crumb blocks. She loves to get to stay all night with out any sisters so she can sew.
She is just learning ---but my she is a quick learner.
Thanks again everyone. I am sure she will be so surprised to get fabric in the mail.
thanks again.

Emily is so sweet. I love that she's taken an interest in quilting already. My daughter is going to turn 7 in June and I thought about trying to get her started sewing this summer. Any suggestions on how to start her out? And what exactly is a crumb block?

Izy made a real easy tutor of the crumb block, (I hope i posted that right) and I'm sure your daughter would find this block as much as Emily did. What day is her birthday in June? Emily will be 8 on June 21

June 13th.

[quote=PamH]Thanks so much! It looks fairly simple.

congratulation...great job..early start...

Ooooh, i think i have some bits of girly fabric that Emily will like...please pm your addy to me too Pam :)

Pam, would still love to send some bits of girly fabric for Emily, if you could pm me your mailing address

You know...Pam is going to have to get a room just for Emily with everything she has coming. lol
Ok, maybe not a room, but bigger totes!!

I missed the tutorial for the crumb block. My computer had to close the window for some reason, and when I came back to my email, the crumb block tutorial and file was gone. Could you please send me a link or help me find it..... Thanks for doing the tutorial. It means so much to me, being a new quilter, I would like to learn all that I can and everyone here is soooooooo helpful and friendly. Thanks , Nanny Hunt

Here you go......
