"Finally" finished
1 Attachment(s)
Someone asked me to post a photo of Nadia's (GD-8 yrs old) first quilt when it was completed. She decided she wanted to quilt with some of the built-in fancy stitches. I think I made a mistake in letting her use those stitches as it pulled up the fabric somewhat. Anyway she did most of the work on this quilt, it's not perfect but I am so proud of her. This is a doll quilt for one of her American girl dolls and now she has picked out the fabric for doll # 2 a quilt!!! She is hooked!!!!

Quilter andquilt are beautiful.
|
Looks nice. & I know what you mean she's hooked. My 8 yr GD is also hooked, first a doll blanket, then burp rags for little brother and then some for my oldest GD's baby Yes, my oldest GD is 25 yrs & youngest is 1 yr with 7 inbetween....total of 9. Saving your pic to show my quilter....
|
congratulations... nice quilt
|
Looks cute and fancy stitches are really fun to use. She had a positive first attempt so I think you've created a little sewing buddy, congratulations!
|
She's beautiful and so is her quilt! She did a great job ~ good for her - & you!
|
Lovely quilt and quilter ... :)
|

|
Both area beautiful. Isn't it fun to work with a sweet little granddaughter?
|
great work, another quilter on our side. beautiful work
|
She did a great job. :)
|
That is WELL DONE !!! RE: the pulling with the stitches.... i think it's great that you let her do it her way. That's how we (they) learn. Obviously she's been bitten by the bug since she is already planning her 2nd quilt !!!
|
You have every reason to be proud of your DGD. She did a great job.
My 6 and 8 year old DGKs are hooked also. |
Beautiful :) both quilter and the quilt - wish I had someone to teach me - so awesome she is learning at a young age!
|
That's great! It's such a good idea to use the decorative stitches for quilting. She looks like she's loving it too!

Pretty quilt and girl. Glad to see we have another quilter with us.

Others probably asked, too, but I wanted to see the finished quilt. I just knew it would be well done as your granddaughter took care with the piecing. Congratulations to you and to her for a job well done.
|
Beautiful girl and beautiful quilt! Great job, Nadia! I love to use my embroidery stitches as quilting stitches too. I think it adds to the quilt. Thank you for teaching her to sew. She will enjoy it for the rest of her life and remember you while she does it. You are creating your legacy.
|
She did a great job. And I'm glad you let her use the decorative stitches. After all, it is her quilt. ;)
|
Both are adorable. Happy to see a budding quilter - she looks very happy and proud.
|
Oh, how cute - both the quilt and the girl!
|
Aren't grand kids great! One of my grand daughters started sewing when she was 8 she hand sewed a pillowcase for my DH's knee pillow & started watching me teach myself to quilt & she started right up behind me. She's 13 now & has 5 small quilts under her belt. She does an awesome job of matching fabric from my scraps. Grandkids Rule! LOL
|
Wtg Nadia and Grammy! Lucky her, getting an early start and years of fun projects in her future. :thumbup:
|
I love when young people get into sewing! Our craft will live on. The quilt came out beautifully:thumbup:
|
Great colors and a great job. Keep up the wonderful creative work you are doing with quilts.
