New quilter
What else better to do during spring break than learn to sew by making your first quilt? She picked out her own fabrics the other day and picked the pattern from a quilt posted on the board yesterday. I cut the squares and showed her how to sew the first few together and she is doing it on her own now at a nice slow speed. Thanks goodness for blue tape and marking seam allowances on the machine. I admit, I'm kind of proud.

Such a sweet picture!!! I hope my DGD will learn to love to sew. She is interested but can't sit still for more thanfa few minutes. My DD's never wanted learn. They love to ask Momma to do it for them instead. LOL!

She is 9. I started 4-H sewing at 9, so it is time for her to learn. She is doing a good job. I made her take out one seam that was just too wide, but other than that, I'm just letting her go. I'll get more picky when she is ready for me to teach her good construction, but I want her to enjoy the hobby first. She has almost made all 10 blocks!! I'll post pics when she finishes the top. I'm proud of my daughter.

Awesome! I remember being her age and begging my grandma to teach me and she said I was too impatient. The request was repeated for YEARS until I finally taught myself! Now I look forward to teaching my daughter, should she want to learn. Hope you guys have fun together!
