Yes. My 12 year old dg is here and we are both teaching the 15 yr old to hand quilt with jelly roll trips. She lives further away so can't work with her as much but she is having fun. Will take pictures to remember when....Anyone else been teaching grandkids to sew this summer? I'd love to hear the stories.
I think the more the family teaches our children, the more will pass on the craft of quilting. Keeps them busy too. Happy quilting.

I taught my 10 year old dgd to quilt. She went to my stash and chose the colors, sewed all the strips together and I quilted it and did the binding. She lives in TX so I don't get to be with her as often as I like. She made a doll quilt for her American Doll. We had a great time together, I just wish she lived closer so we could work together more. She really loved it,and so did I, I really loved spending the time with her. Here is the link if you would like to see it.
