Had my granddaughter for spring break...she made a pillow for her Aunt in N.C. (her first star--Ohio star). Then we needed to have something quick and easy to make for her mama for Easter...so I taught her about whole cloth quilting and cross-hatch quilting; she got 2 pillows made and she was so happy she actually got 3 projects done in 2 days of quilting. She's 13 and loves to sew on my Janome 9000 (which she will inherit when she's 16). I'm a proud grammie!
|
Very nice! Isn't it wonderful when the younger generations want to learn a craft!
|
Beautiful young lady and wonderful work. Good for her!
|
Such a beautiful young lady and some wonderful work and bet she was sure glad to be with Grammie(:)
|
Your granddaughter is so very pretty and did a wonderful job!!! I wish I could get my 14 yr. old DD interested in sewing or quilting. My DGD who is 4, loves to help me, so maybe I will have a future quilter in her.
|
Great job and she is gorgeous!!
|
Great pillows! I'm sew glad that your DGD is wanting to learn to quilt, my DD is almost 26 and finally shows some interest also, better late than never, right?
|
She did a wonderful job on the pillows :thumbup: Please pass on to her our compliments :lol:
She is very pretty, keep her interested in the quilting, it will keep her in the house and away from the boys :wink: LOL And how fun for her to be able to practice, learn and work on a a machine that will soon be hers :mrgreen: |
Very nice.
|
Wonderful!
|
Your GD is beautiful. She did a great job. They came out very nice.
|
GREAT WORK!!!!
|
Good for you and your GD. I love to see the 'younguns' learning to quilt.
|
Very pretty young lady and she did a wonderful job on her pillows.
|
She's well on her way :-P
|
Sherri, don't count on it. My granddaughter loved sewing on my machine from ther age of 4 to 10, and I thought ,"oh boy, I have a girl I can finally teach to sew" Nope, no interest at all after she hit her teens.
|
.........and she's beautiful.
|
Awesome!! She's doing great!!
|
What a beautiful GD! She loves visiting her grammie and look what she made!!! Fantastic! :D :D
|
Don't loose hope...the aunt she made the Ohio star for was in her late 20's when she decided to learn to quilt...was in another state, so lots of long distance tutoring and she basically taught herself...she makes beautiful things and is very active in a large guild (in charge of safe child--I donate alot of quilts to her). But, alas, my older daughter lives here and has NO interest in sewing...she says "why should I? I have you and you're teaching Kaelyn". Gotta admit, she has a point.
And thanks, everybody, for the nice comments...I am passing them along to Kaelyn. |
What a little cutie she is! I know this skill will be something she will enjoy her whole life. She did a GREAT job!
|
Those are all beautiful. She is such a pretty girl. It's good you are teaching her to love fabrics and quilting. She is one of us now.
|
How wonderful! You are able to pass along such talent to the next generation!
Kind Regards, MaryAnna |
She is a beauty for one, and does lovely work.. great teaching grandma!
|
Vicki, funny, my granddaughter's name is also Kaelyn, and my daughter, Linda, said the same thing about learning to sew. LOL And both our GD are beautiful!! My Kaelyn is almost 21, so I don't think she is going to get interested , but she is going to make other people have beautiful smiles with her new career.
|
I told my GD she needs to learn to quilt because fabric would be her inheritance. I have enough to keep us both busy for a LONG time. Carol
|
how sweet is that
|
Nice Work! Beautiful GD! I taught my daughter to sew and she is now interested in quilting. :)
|
Great job on the pillows. You should be very proud.
|
Great job ... and she is a beautiful young lady :)

Thanks to all for the nice comments, Kaelyn is loving this. |
It is so great to see kids taking a interest in a dying art. Most kids don't seem interested
|
Please let her know - Great Job!
