I figure she's got another 4 stripsets to make. Right now she's on holidays but she's coming back for "Grammy Camp" round 2 when she gets back. I'm taking her to my two days of quilting - wonder what the other quilter will think of this 10 year old?

You have a talented DGD to be making that lovely bed runner/shawl at 10yrs old. Of course she has a wonderful teacher. Looks like she has caught the quilting bug! I am sure your DGD will be very popular at your 2 days of quilting. It is always exciting to have a young person that is eager to learn among the crowd. Have a splendid time!

Kudoes to you, Suzzy, for taking the lead and introducing this fine bunch of kids to quilting. They look so pleased with themselves--as well they should! I particularly like the runner all the way to the right--would look perfect in my kitchen. Your granddaughter also made a pretty one. She will be such a refreshing addition to your retreat.

I had just retired and after walking through the 4-H display at our county fair, i was so inspired by their beautiful work I went right to my local quilt shop and signed up for lessons. I’m a former home ec teacher and taught sewing, but I had never quilted, an old dog can learn new tricks! (I also just completed 25 years as a 4-H leader. Best program for kids). Consider donating fabric you might never used to your local 4-H club. Fabric isn’t cheap these days.

Good looking kids and quilts! Makes me happy to see them learning to quilt!

Your young crafters have done a great job. :thumbup:
