New Quilters?
3 Attachment(s)
I am visiting my 4 DGKs in the midwest for a couple of days. I brought my ole backup machine and some scrappy squares. Yesterday, I got to spend the day with them while the adults went to work. When I asked who wanted to learn to sew, three piped up. The two younger girls made small quilts and the 16yo boy mended his favorite pullover. The youngest is a fashionista and when I told her I was giving her the machine, her face almost broke with huge smiles and gratitude. I taught them quilting terms, how to wind a bobbin, and how to use the seam ripper. The youngest liked ripping and took all of the stitches out of our practice piece! I asked DGS if he is going to tell his guy friends that he sewed the shirt himself and he replied "For sure!" LOL

That is a skill they will carry with them their whole life. How fun they get to spend time with grandma. Love it.

Nice work by all of them - and you!

Sweet grandkids and great skills for them to learn.
That pinwheel block! She got her center points meeting better than I can do. |
I love to see young sewers!!! Several of my granddaughters like to sew too. I encourage them when every I can. You are right! The time they spend with you sewing is time well spent. They learn a life long skill and have quality time with you. It is something they will never forget.

Always wonderful to see the young ones getting interested.

Love your story of your visit with grandkids, and especially their interest in sewing. Love their projects, too. And what a nice machine you're giving to the youngest!
