I've posted before that my two daughters have no interest at all in sewing or quilting. Well, since I had them both pick out fabric for a quilt my oldest one is getting interested. She is more creative than my middle daughter, she draws and decorates. Tonight when we talked on the phone she asked about making a patriotic quilt (since she saw my design). I told her to look around online and see what she likes.
So she emails me a little while ago with links and comments like:
THE WHITE IN THIS ONE LOOKS LIKE THE WHITE BACKGROUND WITH THE STARS THAT WE TALKED ABOUT. =)
I FOUND THIS FABRIC AT THE HANCOCKS-PADUCAH WEBSITE:
THIS LOOKS GREAT! THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING: STARS AND STRIPES AND FIREWORKS
AND THIS ONE WOULD BE GOOD AS ACCENT PIECES SOMEWHERE:
THIS ITEM IS GREAT TOO! I LOVE THE SCRIP WRITING!
I believe we have another convert! :twisted:

Isn't it great when they begin to understand what it's all about? My daughter can sew, but she only makes Trip Around the World, she has that one down and can do it in any size. So that's okay, at least she sews!

Wish my daughter would convert! She keeps saying "Don't make me any more quilts. I have enough!" Really now, can you EVER have enough? I'm thinking maybe it's like that thing about getting your kids to eat better by having them help in the kitchen. You got her involved in the process, and now she's beginning to see what it's all about. Another score for our side!

Now that is Great! Haven't converted my daughter yet, but she loves quilts and is always wanting a new one, so I feel that I'll get her yet! She is very creative, so it's just a matter of time.
Good for you pittsburgpam, that is great!

Sounds like she is "catching the bug".
I have 3 daughters. My 6 year old only loves that I make her things. My 7 year old is the one who wants to help with the process. She loves help. And at this point I think she will be the seamstress in the family. My 11 year old likes to help to an extent. I bought some panels for her to make pillows. That will let her get some practice using the sewing machine on her own. She has helped me sew on a border, but struggles with keeping a 1/4' seam. A little practice and she will be great!
