I bought a quilt kit to make for my 16 year old daughter and she grabbed it and started cutting! We are having a lovely afternoon stitching together.

That's wonderful you're sharing the love quilting with her!

I wish my (almost) 17 yr. old daughter was even remotely interested! Good for you.

Enjoy your time together

What a wonderful way to spend the day :mrgreen: Love your sewing space :thumbup:

Wonderful way to spend the day bonding. At 16 they could be arguing with us. I had 2 girls and that was more the norm at times

I am so jealous!!!! My daughter lives too far away to be able to enjoy a day like this!

Awwww what great fun!!! I can't wait to see the quilt :D:D:D

Thats wonderful! My three girls don't sew much,but my oldest son loves to sew and quilt.

What fun!

Awesome. Is that an Olisio Iron I see there? Nice sewing room!

that is great, have fun sewing with her

What a great way to spend an afternoon. Sounds like fun. Tell your daughter we can't wait to see her quilt

Yes, it's an Olisio iron. I really like it. When I go to classes I'm always afraid I'm going to burn down the building because I forget to stand the iron back up.

That's only half of my sewing studio! My daughter's table is behind her with a desk for my dh next to hers. My stuff is all to the left. I think others would call this room the formal living room.

Here's some of what she got done today and a picture of the other half of my sewing studio.

Holey moley! I love your sewing room! Can I come and play? Mine is just half my family room and not near as many toys.

Fantastic sewing space & your DD does really nice work. I love her color combinations.

I'm thinking that orange and lime green must be a theme. The quilt matches the walls! Great progress. Enjoy the project together.

What a wonderful way to spend a day. Neither of my daughters want to get near a sewing machine. Thank goodness my DGD has been bitten by the quilting bug. Isn't it fun to sew with them.

I am so jealous, would love to be able to do that with a daughter. We lost our daughter 18 years ago. We have a son who is married to a nice gal that likes to sew. We could probably quilt together but they live in Colorado. Enjoy your time together. She does nice work. Must be a very good teacher.
Love your sewing space. Such a nice place to create.

Holey moley, you are blessed sewing with your daughter, great sewing room, yep, all the above.

Aw, that sounds like fun!

I'm so sorry for your loss, I truly cannot imagine.

Thank you for the reminder to enjoy every moment with our babies.

Honey, that's no studio- it looks like a quilt shop!!!! :D
What a nice way to spend time with your daughter. I have 3 boys but when they were little they all learned to sew. Loved the way machines worked. My oldest came over just a few weeks ago and we made nice dinner napkins that he wanted. He bought all the fabrics and they were gorgeous!! We had fun and it reminded me of when they were little guys :D

How super to spend time with your daughter. They grow up so fast and are out of the nest too soon it seems. Your sewing room looks great.

What a blessing! When my daughter was that age she had very little interest. Did do a quilt in the one home ec class she took, but no more yet. However!!! This past weekend she got fabric to make a couple of halter tops so maybe the sewing bug is biting again....of course it could just be the fabric acquisition bug, which she got in full measure from me!

Nice space! I have a largish (for a bedroom) space and am thinking about moving the cutting table to the middle of the floor as well. Do you like it there and how do you keep it from becoming a "catch-all"?

:thumbup: :thumbup:

It's so nice the two of you can do somthing together. My niece got a sewing machine a couple of Christmases ago and it has not made it out of the box. I have offered to take her to find fabric and patterns (she wants to make tops ouf of knit materials) and to sew with my friends when we get together, but so far, no luck. I hope soon that she will want to do it again. I would love to have her sew with my Mom, her grandmother. My Mom would be tickled pink, but my Mom is not one to do the asking.

I don't! I have to clear it off everytime I need the whole thing. I often find myself working on a small corner.

What a lovely way to spend an afternoon..... I love it when Emma shows an interest in sewing - she is only 9 but we have done a couple of small projects together... I just love the time shared. Also, what a fantastic sewing room. I love the way you have organised the threads on the walls!

It's been an on-again, off-again thing with Jenni. Yesterday she said, "Sometimes I just love sewing and some days I can't stand it!" I think I 've hit my goal of not pushing her but letting her find her way. She spent 5 hours sewing yesterday!

Great to see the younger ones quilting. What a great day you must have had

She looks so interested. What a wonderful way to spend a day with your daughter.

what a sewing room!!!!!!!

Your daughter is doing a great job. Has she sewn much before?

aww how cool! :thumbup:

How awesome that you can share your quilt passion with your daughter. I wish I had learned the joys of quilting at a younger age. Enjoy your time together making beautiful quilts. I love your studio-it looks well equiped and well organized.

Have a wonderful 4th.

You are so lucky, My daughter wasn't interested in sewing.
My Mom raised me to sew and loved it. My granddaughters 4 of them and 2 the 11 and 14 are sewing and love it. we have a great bonding time. My daughter just buys the fabric and gives me the list of what she wants. guess I am lucky I got 2 who are going to be quilters.
