I think it's the See's Terri wants this time!

I'm sure Joey would love to swap with Sophia - just not sure Sophia would like to swap with Joey! :? Like I said - it's his first go, but I'm sure with help he can come up with SOMETHING! :lol:

Maybe give others a while to jump in - there must be more sewing age kids out there! Then we can match ages and abilities more closely.

Sophia would not care if it's a boy or a girl...my son William would, but that's another story! I had to talk him into inviting some girls to his bday party. He was worried they would get him "girl" presents!! It was funny too because at his party he spent a lot of time hanging with the girls!

I will definitely give this a few more days, it's got to be appealing to a few kids out there!

Gwyn, I kept meaning to respond to you! Thanks for your terrific suggestions. I know my daughter is in 5th grade and took a quilt class over the summer so she thinks she knows it all. She needs help sewing straight lines, and organization, so I will be there to guide her. She does not want me too involved (but won't let me leave the room!!). However, I think these ideas are great for the younger ones.

Ha! Joey hasn't yet got the 'girls are creatures from another planet' thing. I guess he's younger than William? At carnaval a while ago, he was adamant that he had to be dressed as a prince - turned out all the girls in his class were going as princesses! :lol:

Smart boy...getting on their good side while they are young!!

William is 7, and he's been like this for a few years. It seems to be just his make-up, lord knows his mommy is a "women's-lib" kinda gal! He actually thinks boys are better at things like sports - probably all the media with boys/men involved in the sports that he sees, but my daughter plays soccer, and he goes to all her games. Who knows where it comes from!

They're the same age then - I guess it's just genetic make up! :D

I know my daughter would LOVE to participate, but she is only five!

When my daughter was 5 she sewed TONS of little things on one of those toy sewing machines. Her dolls have blankets made from every scrap you can imagine. Maybe that would work for some of you all.

I will ask my kids if they would like to participate in this, they have liked watching my quilts come in the mail.

I just asked Joey and he's up for it! I like the idea of crazy - scrappy! It could even be done on a foundation of thick flannel à là QAYG then no need to sandwich; I wonder if at 7 he's too young for the sewing machine? He's pretty adept and careful.
