I hope she does take to it. She draws so maybe she will see that she can essentially do the same thing and make something to use, see and feel with her art.

:thumbup: What wonderful news!! I so love it when someone else is drawn (no pun intended) to let out their creativity with quilting.

My eldest DD is sorta into sewing. I didn't get to do a lot of it when she was little, so she never got into it., but now my youngest DD is really into it.
In June we have a quilt show that a friend and I are going to. At first I said I was making plans for just my friend and myself, but realizing that young DD loves sewing, maybe not as much as I do, I thought she should be able to go to. I told her and she is so excited.

I am sooo feeling your joy. I haven't converted my three yet. They are all really busy, so I'm thinking, when they are a little older. I sewed for most of my life, and wasn't into quilting. I hadn't been exposed to the right stuff.
I had the bug before I came here, but no one to really share with. This board has done so much for me. It's wonderful when you finally have someone in your life, that you can tell about your love for quilting.
I'm waving a flag, and tooting a horn, for you, Pam! (doot, doot!). It's a red letter day fer sure! :lol:

I am so happy for you. It great when they learn to love what we love. Neither of my daughters sew at all, but my son and grand daughter love it. I converted my grand daughter early. ( 5 years old. )

Sounds like she just may want to learn to quilt.

Congratulations Pam :thumbup: ....My oldest daughter has a desire one day to sew/quilt. Right now, she is soooo busy, but I've got a bid on my grandaughter, her little girl. The other day, she was sitting across the table with 3 of my strips (that I did not even know she had gotten from my strips that I am working on) and she laid them out like she wanted them and said "This is the way I'm gonna make my quilt"! She is 2 1/2. :D

She's has already gone to a LQS with me. :D She works for a Ford dealer in payroll and warranties and my brakes were squealing on my Escape so she ordered the parts and her fiance, who is a Ford mechanic, replaced the front brakes and rotors. A $450 job that cost me just the parts for $193.

While he did that we went to a LQS where she lives 50 miles from me. She enjoyed looking at the fabrics and patterns and I got her some black, red and white paisley that she particularly liked for a purse. When we got back she told her fiance and she said how nice the ladies were there.

Maybe we do have a better shot at the grandkids sometimes. :wink: We're not so busy raising them ourselves. I have done a quilt with my 8 year old granddaughter.

I have four grands, and one that is five, is really interested. Think I will let her help me put appliques on her little play dress I am making. That will thrill her. She is interested in a lot of things, as long as you do it with her, so I am really gonna come up with some quilty projects that she can participate in, to nurture that along. I looooove it!!!!!!

My daughter has to have everything "match" and has a hard time with all of the colors and different prints that go along with quilting, but... When she saw my b/w fabric for the swap she has laid claim to that quilt when we're done! :wink:

Angie, reading your tag line...and when you never iron, except after pre-washing fabrics, you'll do it till you drop!
I love compliments on my sewing/quilty stuff from my daughters. When I get a thumbs up from one of them, I know i have done good. Got one the other day. :D
