It's wonderful that you are teaching them your craft. I hope my granddaughter will want to learn to sew.

Maegan will be ten this year and John just turned five. My other granddaughter has also been sewing with me now for over a year and she is only 6. She has made a purse, decorated t-shirts, and a jumper. This summer we will make a quilt together. I just haven't decided if I am going to make the Girl Scout quilt with her, or make that one for her and make another Downey quilt with her.

My own kids don't sew. They were never interested as kids, but their interest is growing. I may convert them yet.
