On Sunday, I taught my 8-year old GD, Hannah Mae, how to sew, press, rotary cut and how to put her quilt together. She sewed 9 of the squares herself and then used 3 sqs her 12-year old cousin had left over from her quilt. I put on the border, backing and quilted it for her. It is doll-size. I think she did a great job. She is a natural and listened and followed my directions to the letter. Wow! That was nice. She was able to use my Pfaff 2040. I set it on my typing table and we put the foot peddle on a cushion. Putting the foot peddle on a cushion was a great idea because she could not press down hard enough to make the machine go too fast. We had a lovely day. I also taught her how to braid and how to crochet. I was exhausted!

That is wonderful!

Amazing what they can do - when they want to!

That is a beautiful quilt, and Hannah Mae is a cutie patootie! She looks so proud, great work both of you.

Awesome Hannah mae.....

So wonderful of you to spend your time teaching a young one how to sew and knit. Her quilt turned out so well. They really can learn fast at that age.

Kudos to you for teaching her! Now you will have a sewing companion! :) Her little quilt is great too!

Great job. It is alovely quilt. I like all the colors.

Both are beautiful

PRICELESS!! :)

Way to go, Hannah. She is so cute. Good job.
