Some of my quilts

Beautiful work! I love your appliqué especially. I must try and get my 4 1/2 year old sewing. She's just getting interested - the other day she said 'when you die Mummy, can I have all your sewing stuff?' Charming!

Thank you so much for all the kind words!!! Regarding my granddaughter, it was actually a little frustrating for me, but I've since decided I need to just accept that when she helps me, we're not going to get very much actual work done!!!! It's so good for her (and me too) to do this together. This time is all about her, not me, so we WILL work on it together again!
Next time she's working on it, I will try to remember to get a picture!

That's cute!!!
I got my granddaughters little stitching kits for Christmas. For the 5 year old, I got a simple "cross stitch" - it wasn't really cross stitch, because the stitches only went one way, but it gives her some practice with stitches and the color placement as well (it was a very colorful butterfly). For the 3 year old, I got a packet of little bear figures that have holes around the outside, and she just stitches along those holes with a plastic needle.
The 5 year old has always been interested in crafts. Ever since she was a tiny baby, I've showed her what I've made, and from the time that she could acknowledge them, she's been very interested in them. Her mom crochets and paints and draws, so she's surrounded by crafts.
