the patterns and quilt pictures

That is going to be one fantastic quilt when she is done!
WTG!!

What fun. My DGD is 6 too and she loves to sew with me. Here is our next generation of quilters.

Adorable! My daughter is 8, and is getting more into sewing :) (Her name is Calissa btw lol) Her current project is a pirate themed quilt for her lil brother. I love teh pictures on the fabric idea tho

That's GREAT.

What a fun quilt!!! DD looks like she is enjoying herself too :D:D:D

A pro in the making ! Watch you stash, they can be very sneaky at that age :wink: LOL

It will be adorable! Can't wait to see it finished.

Nice job Clarissa, can't wait to see more! :thumbup:

Looking good! :thumbup: Keep her little fingers away from that needle. :|

When I go Los Angeles in a few weeks, I am going to buy my grandson a sewing machine...
he is 7 years old, his Mom does not sew....
but she is so proud that I am learning to sew that she is willing to learn yourself.

THEY CAN DO SOME SCRAP CRAZY PIECE QUILT THINGY THEMSELVES....

I am sure once the quilt top starts to come together, my grandson will be hooked.

He is so proud of the crazy quilt I made for him....and trust me, it is all wrong...as it was my first one.

I will take him shopping to get his fabric....

PLEASE KEEP POSTING YOUR PICTURES OF YOUR DAUGHER'S PROJECT.

I will show my grandson your daughter's picture!!!!

Way to go. :thumbup:

AWESOME!!! Good for Clarissa, and good for you! Love to see the art of quilting and sewing being passed on!

Looks like she is have some fun.

It looks like she has a good start. Tell her to have fun from all the people on the board.

Looks like it will be a bright and beautiful quilt.

It's good to get them started early if they show an interest. She'll probably be out-shining you in a few years. lol

Did she choose the fabrics herself? I really like them! And the pictures - are they drawn with regular crayons or is there something special for drawing on fabric? Can you tell I don't have any little ones around? Love her drawings; that's going to be a really pretty quilt.

Looks like someone needs a couple of telephone books.........Cute.

YEs she chose all the fabrics herself..that is why everything is pink. You can use regular crayons...you just have to heat set them....SHe traced the designs from a pattern...and then colored them herself. We just have to use a pressing sheet and then then iron the crayon in...and it is permanent. But they do have special fabric crayons you can buy also..just not much variety.

It is so nice to see this, can't wait to see the finished quilt. What fun

Oh, she is so cute! I know she will do a great job! She has a good teacher (her Mom). Tell her we all are rooting for her and hope to see her results after she is finished.

JOY

I love to see creativity encouraged in children!! She will be a more rounded person for it!! Way to go Mom and Clarissa....:thumbup: :thumbup: :-D
Ditter

I love the fabrics she choose....
