I can't wait until my darling GD Zoe is old enough to sit on my lap and sew with me, probably a small doll quilt for semi-instant results. I did this before with another little girl who was 5 years old, I had her put her hand over mine when I rotary cut the fabric, then she sat in my lap to sew or the part she liked best was using the foot pedal while I sewed. The first time we tried this, I had just threaded my machine, put my foot on the pedal and she opened up the machine to see it sewing and said in a delighted voice "cool". A moment I won't forget, and she was so proud of the little quilt she made.

I think she did a great job for one so young.

That is so perfect a quilt full of special memories for both of you and to share for the baby as well!

Please tell Maylin for all of us that we think she did a wonderful job. It looks just perfect. I am also hoping to quilt with a grandchild someday. What precious memories!
