Well Eiley finished her 1st doll quilt yesterday. She even chose all the fabrics.
She sewed the strips on fleece, then stitched around the edges and turned it. I did the top stitching around the edges but other than that, she completely did this herself! :thumbup: She just turned 5 this month. I am so proud of her!

Cute!

Fantastic job Eiley!!!

Good for her!! How wonderful of you to take the time and effort to teach her. I started sewing at about the same age and it has served me well through the years.

how sweet!!! she did a wonderful job :)

Great job, love her quilt!!!!!

She is a doll! So cute and her quilt is precious too.

You taught her well. Good way to get her interest and it will last for many years. Hurray for you both!

Way to go Eiley, very nice quilt :!:

Great Job! :thumbup:

She is so cute. She also did a beautiful job on her quilt.

Beautiful. Thanks for sharing it with us. Good job Ellie.

She is so very cute! Tell her she did a fantastic job. She is a happy little girl. Special time for both of you.

She did a good job! Looks like you could have someone to quilt with.

Beautiful...quilt and little girl. She did so well at this I was remembering the sew and flip method where you put batting on the backing and the strips on top and sew one and flip and add on another etc. so when done it is quilted to the backing. If you do it on a flannel shirt opened at the shoulders and sleeves removed, it makes a nice quilted vest with a flannel lining or you can do the opened sleeves the same way and replace them to make a jacket. She could do it I'm sure.

Eiley did a wonderful job. Her quilt is beautiful. :thumbup:

good job! :)

Love seeing those kids who sew! She's a doll.

Yes, that's how she did it :D

She did a great job!
She's going to be a future quilter.
What a sweetie! :-)

I did, I read everyones comments to her last night.

She took to sewing pretty well. I just showed her once how to lift the presser foot, needle up/down etc and she "got it". She has been watching me sew for over a year now.

Didn't think she was really paying that much attention to me, but I guess she was! :D
