Mikali is five, and for Christmas I gave her a FQ and a sewing kit/basket. I actually wanted to make her a doll quilt, too, but ran out of time. Then for her birthday in January, I gave her some charm squares cut out of fabrics from my stash.
She embroidered the heart for the medallion, picked the squares to use and hand sewed the pairs of charm squares together for this quilt. Then she sat in my lap and "helped" me guide the fabric through to sew the rest of the seams (was getting to a point I knew she was losing patience with the sewing and not having a finished project). Yesterday I sandwiched it and ran the yarn ties through. I showed her how to tie a knot, and she tied all the knots except two. Today I bound it and she signed the label. Action shot!

So cute! Thanks for sharing...

Nicely Done!

What a cutie pie she is! A very pretty first quilt with more to come, I bet. She did a great job. I love to see parents being so patient with their children when they want to learn something.
I wish my niece was as patient with her little boy. He is so smart and eager to learn, but not much encouragement from parents. I wish I could be near him. He is so loving and gets so excited when he does something. Then they scream at him. I was never able to have children, but I have kept neighbor's children and really enjoyed the smiles on their faces when they got compliments. |
fantastic...she did a wonderful job..i'm impressed!
|
Cute! I think it is good that children learn to stick to it until a job is done!
|
WoW a grand quilter in the making, Nice job!

I do think that it's better in the end that I helped her make a doll quilt instead of just giving her one that I've made. Makes me feel better about not getting all the Christmas stuff I had planned done, anyway. |
She is beautiful and so is her quilt. A great beginning for such a talented sweetie!
|
How sweet. She and the quilt are adorable.
|
What a sweetie, great job
|
AWESOME, wonderful, terrific, fabulous, please tell her it is stunning!
|
aw how precious!
|
What a beautiful little girl!!!!!!! I think it's awesome that you are sharing quilting with her!
Bravo, Mom!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D:D |
she is just a darling and what a nice quilt. Look at you how proud. maybe she could enter it in a fair in your town or city.
|
Oh your in trouble now! first its a doll quilt, next thing you know, she has her own stash and your best fabric keeps going MIA!
I am teaching my 8 yr old to quilt, I am now having to hide all the "good" fabric. She is breaking through the barriars and no longer content with my scraps.! LOL! |
Oh wow! Just lovely. What a great little treasure of what you made together!
|
What a wonderful job. She is a real cutie.
