Teaching 10 yr. old how to quilt...
 

My DD & family just moved back here from Texas where her husband was in Army. My oldest GD wanted to make a quilted purse...so I made the quilt sandwich for her...showed her how to quilt around the flowers with free motion...left the room so she would feel relaxed & let her quilt. She did wonderful...and about half way thru she came out into the livingroom and said " Grandma you know what I want for my birthday? A sewing machine" Yes I am beaming with joy. I am so proud of her work ~! Alas,,,a quilter is born. Thanks for looking. [ATTACH=CONFIG]409737[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]409738[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]409739[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]409740[/ATTACH]

How wonderful! She is a cutie and she is doing great!

She is a beautiful little girl and with you as a teacher she has a great future. Pretty soon she will be sharing pictures of her quilts.

Her quilting is looking good and she certainly looks at home behind your machine.

Congratulations on your recruiting efforts! I know this cute girl will have fun making the purse and other future projects.

I love the story of her you shared, and she is a very pretty girl. I like her birthday wishes. She is going to have fun as a pretty sewer/quilter.

I just love it when a new quilter is borne. She is a pretty lil thing and is doing so well quilting. I haven't even tried FMQ with a DM. I have a LA so thats what I do. She is braver then I.

wow, her quilting is better than mine :)

You will both be making memories that last a lifetime! Enjoy!

You are sharing a love of quilting that she will never outgrow. What fond memories you are making with her!

She is a cutie and she is doing great!Better job then I could do. Congrats to her.

beautiful granddaughter looks like a future quilter !!!!

A new quilter is always great!

Wonderful! Imagine all that she will create with the skills you are passing down to her. It is such a joy when they 'want to'. May the times you spend together bring such happy memories.

Congratulations on your teaching skills. She did great!

A quilter was born ten years ago, who knew? Lucky you, lucky her! (Excuse me) Blessed you with blessed her.

Your DGD is gorgeous, and what a wonderful job she has done on her first attempt at quilting.

You are so lucky and so is she. I am going to try to get my 9 year old granddaughter sewing this summer.

That is so wonderful, beautiful girl!!!!

Go Grandma Go, super job on her first time. cute Grand daughter.:)

That is great.start them young and they will have a lifetime of enjoyment.

What a beautiful child she is. And to think she is taking after you by wanting to learn to quilt! How utterly perfect!

Great job! She does need a sewing machine!

awesome....don't you just love sharing the obsession!

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Another seamstress/quilter born!

A wise Grandmother to leave the room and let her do her thing. :thumbup:

What a beautiful story!! You can share a lot of wonderful times together sewing in the future!!

Doesn't it do your heart good to see the next generation showing interest? The youngest person in our little church group is my sister, and she is 58. I always love seeing someone take to quilting very early. Think how many she will make in her lifetime....

She's a doll! Congrats on another quilter being born into the family! :)

She is not only beautiful but very talented! Now you can let everyone know she gets it from you!!!

Go, grandma, go!! Your enthusiasm is catching and she is a beauty.
