What a great thing to introduce your granddaughter to sewing/quilting. Like PMahowald, don't get me started on the disappearance of Home Ec. classes! I think that was a terrible decision on the part of the schools. Anyway, a lady just opened up a "Sewing Lounge" in our town where you can go & meet w/friends & sew together, etc. She also has classes & one that really caught my eye was the one called "Kid's Sewing 101...the basics". Ages 10 & up can come & learn about sewing machines & the basics of sewing. They will make a small fabric bag in the class to put their sewing supplies in. I think every town needs something like this.
