Wow, how fun and how exciting. Make sure she puts a label on it so she can keep it for her children to see. This is an absolute heirloom. Thanks so much for sharing.l

I'm tearing up it's so sweet (my kids hate that). One more warm baby doll at your house. Congrats to you both.

How sweet!!! I love the sewing machine set up on the ironing board!!! And, if she's making that at 6 just imagine what she'll be making at 20!!

That is so awsome. She did a great job. She will be Little Miss Quilter in my book.

His last project, when he was in middle school was designing and sewing a twin size block based on the flag of Colonial America. We're big fans of Colonial Williamsburg. For him, it was about design and color, and the sewing was just how it had to come together. Eventually he gave up quilting, because sports became more important, but quilt design and construction was a great experience.
