Wonderful! I just started quilting at 53 (I'm 54) so I wish I could have been like your granddaughter with a teacher like you.
In fact, your granddaughter could probably help me sew my blocks better! Dianne

Awesome...I wish I would have started when I that age, but I hated to sew and it took me until I was 40 to figure out that quilting and sewing are two different worlds and I love quilting. They are beautiful!!!

Beautiful work and beautiful quilts. Keep up your fantastic work. My granddaughter is learning how to sew also and she is 8 and always wants to sew when she comes to grandma's house.

All the time God is good!

She's very talented, and you are both lucky to have each other! I love it when my 'grands' come over and want to sew. I wish they could be here more often.

In a few years, she'll be creating her own patterns and writing quilt books! You must be extremely proud of her!

Wow, you have a wonderful granddaughter. She will go far. Her quilts are amazing. I imagine that there won't be anything she can't do if she puts her mind to it. God is good all the time!!!

How cool is that. The quilts are wonderful. But the thought that she is spending time with you and learning from you is just heart warming.

She is already prolific at the quilting. I does my heart good to see a child doing this. Especially nowadays!
