My sister and bigger nieces (10 & 12) came to see our new quilter. The younger of the two (10 yr old) is already thinking of what she could do with it. "So I could make a quilt top and you could finish it?" At Christmas, my brother and DSIL gave the girls a sewing machine and my mom and I gave them fabric and fat quarters and sewing baskets full of goodies. The younger niece got right into it and made a simple quilt while they were here during their Christmas break. The next generation of quilters is definitely in training!

Congrats on your new quilt machine! It's wonderful how your family all coordinated gifts for your nieces last Christmas. It's wonderful when members of the younger generation are interested in carrying on our love of quilting.
