Oh, I love your story and your quilter. I have an 8 year old quilter. He shows no signs of letting that go as a sissy thing to do. I noticed he is sewing on a Bernina Record 830 (circa mid 70s)... a wonderful machine. My GKs love sewing on mine too. And they love the Bernina Artista also with the needle down/up positioner. Sewing grandkids are the greatest!!

You & your ​boy have stolen my heart. I can't wait to see the finished quilt.

Great photos! Looks like you may need another sewing room!

How fun, and you are creating great memories together!!

What a special thread! I love the "Look" and recognize it from my sons. LOL... What a long ago memory.

You are very lucky to have your little guy interested in your craft and spending time with grandma.

Boy you keep invading mum's space!!

LOL. ADHD rearing its ugly head. He cross-cut and added 1 strip to each block and cut the chains apart. But I do get my room back for now. I was able to retrieve his Featherweight after work. "How many times to I have to do this???" I told him that his quilt has 12 blocks - mine has 28. He called me a fool... gotta love living with teens.

End of year testing is happening now, so he is relaxing. He did make bookmark for his dad using scraps from his quilt.

Cheers, K

Love that he did his drawing in the graph paper. Can't wait to see the top

What an awesome little guy, yes please show his finished quilt please.

My son made his first quilt at 13 as well ! He is now working on his third ! This one will be his entry into the county fair so he is being VERY serious about points LOL
