My DGD's First quilt
 
4 Attachment(s)
My DGD is visiting me from Tacoma, WA and she made and quilted her first quilt today. She even used my Tin Lizzie. Her quilt will be a gift for her little brother when she goes home. Tomorrow we start a quilt for her little sister. We are considering this visit our vacation, we can do anything we want and have fun doing it.

Great job on a beautiful quilt!!! I love to see young sewers and what they are learning. It is a life skill that she will use for the rest of her life. Good for you, too, Grandma, teaching her.

I think that is wonderful, grammy. Just such a joy for me to see these young girls and boys sewing. and the memories you are creating by teaching them to sew. Bless you and hope you continue to have fun.

Love it when my granddaughter comes to sew with me. These are the times they will remember for years to come. She is such a sweet looking girl and she should be proud of her accomplishment.

yipppeeeeeeeeeeeeeee another quilter in the family. :-) Great job both of you. She did a wonderful job with it, she looked like an old pro with the tin lizzy. Thumbs up to her for caring on grandma's tradition.

The quilt and quilting are wonderful! I'm glad you shared the pictures. She looks so pleased and proud and she should be! What a wonderful way for the two of you to spend vacation time together.

You and your Granddaughter are making not only quilts but very "special memories". She did a great job on her quilt.

Wow, she did a great job and I am green with envy that she gets to use a long arm at such a young age ! Keep up the great work and she will be a master quilter FAST! Bravo.

:thumbup:She did a beautiful job, nice bright colors and excellant quilting.

Patched 07-15-2012 04:59 AM

What a very talented young lady. And I know you are enjoying this twice as much as she is. All grandmothers that quilt take real pride in teaching their DGD's to piece quilts. Ask me how I know

cjackaitlin 07-15-2012 05:50 AM

Awesome work for a first timer, she did a great job . A future quilt in the works. Thanks for sharing.

Seems as though you've created a next-generation quilter!! She did a wonderful job piecing the top and quilting it. I love her color choices. Very cheerful - both her and the quilt! Please thank her for sharing.
