Made by 8 yr old, patchwork quilt
 
1 Attachment(s)
My 8 yr old grand daughter Brodie is visiting from Lousiana, and wanted to make a quilt, I cut out the fabric, she sewed all the blocks together. I added the borders and machine quilted it, simple in the ditch and X in the blocks.
She is quite pleased with herself, even told her aunt "sewing is easy and fun"

The colors are not the best in the picture, it is lavendars and bright pink.

Very pretty! And way to go ... Brodie is learning a life-long creative skill. She should be very proud of her work. You too! Thanks.

Great job!

Very cool quilt, and I think it's great that she is learning so young. I didn't start quilting til about 4 or 5 months ago, and i'm over 40

I think it's beautiful! Nice job, ladies! = )

Awesome! Hopefully she is hooked.

Very nice job. I think it's great to learn to sew at a young age, you will always remember this.:)

A beautiful girl and a great quilt. She did a great job on it.

Very pretty quilt and very pretty quilter! Good for her and you. I'm sure she will always remember her first quilt that you helped her with.

Very nice! I am so looking forward to teaching my GDs to sew when they get old enough.

How cute, she looks sewww happy with her quilt and pillowcase. Great job.

Jingle 07-21-2012 08:19 PM

Beautiful, love the colors. Brodie is beautiful too. I think she is a natural born quilter and needs to keep making them.

marymm 07-21-2012 08:23 PM

She's a beautiful girl and she made a beautiful quilt. I bet she'll always remember sewing it with you.

Neesie 07-21-2012 08:46 PM

Beautiful girl and beautiful quilt! :thumbup:

How wonderful to share quilting with your adorable granddaughter. I hope she enjoyed it so much that she continues to create. Her quilt is so colorful and pretty. Very nice work Brodie (and grandma).

Perfect, both the quilt and grandaughter!

Cris 07-22-2012 04:32 AM

What a lucky grandmother you are to have your granddaughter want to quilt! And you both did a fantastic job!!!

Beautiful quilt and young lady who is very talented.

gramqlts 07-22-2012 04:59 AM

Her quilt is almost as beautiful as she is. She has the greatest smile.....so proud of herself. I can't wait to teach my granddaughters. My 3 yo keeps saying when she grows up she is going to make big quilts and have big titties just like my Grammy.

DoriDeS 07-22-2012 05:00 AM

What a great memory you made with your granddaughter and she and the quilt are BEAUTIFUL :o)

Kttyhwk4 07-22-2012 06:11 AM

WTG..........Brodie is not only beautiful young lady but looks like she going to be a stunning quilt maker too. Must take after her grandma.

Brodie is here for her last day of vacation with me, sad to see her leave. But I look forward to sewing with her again. She loves all of the comments on the board. THANKS so much.

nygal 07-22-2012 07:43 AM

Beautiful set and beautiful child.

jojosnana 07-22-2012 07:46 AM

It came out terrific!

labeelady 07-22-2012 07:51 AM

Ohh..both of my granddaughters are older than Brodie, but they've never expressed much interest in sewing anything except for the older one (she's 13). I bought her a Singer Simple a couple of years ago that they still have.
Brodie must have inherited your talent for quilting. She did a great job!

ScrapQuilter 07-22-2012 07:59 AM

Brodie......... You and grandma did a great job....... keep up the good work and I hope we will see more quilts you make.
My granddaughter has also make her first quilt with me.

maryb119 07-22-2012 08:30 AM

Great job, Brodie!!!! Good job for Grandma too. She will always remember the time she spent with you every time she sees her quilt.

nunnyJo 07-22-2012 12:26 PM
