Now, I am teaching my granddaughters to quilt. We are making such great memories together.

He is delighted to pull out his very own fat quarters and remnant pieces that will eventually become quilts for him. He points to Grammie's drawers and says "no no!" Gramps has a video of him sitting on my lap as he helped sew fence rails together ;-).lyndahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13598892724642716334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2373907850458092621.post-64751229671269391732011-07-10T12:36:31.506-04:002011-07-10T12:36:31.506-04:00I have a very old small wool quilt that my father ...I have a very old small wool quilt that my father made in the third grade. He went to school in a tiny rural school house in Montana. I also have two Sunbonnet Sue type needle cases with French knot bouquets that he and one of his brothers made from wool.<br />I always thought I got my sewing skills from my mother but after he gave me these gifts I thought perhaps I got it from both parents!Sylviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18023977099455124884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2373907850458092621.post-56829858740703858682011-07-10T08:27:06.310-04:002011-07-10T08:27:06.310-04:00Last year when my then 8 yr old grandsome came to ...Last year when my then 8 yr old grandsome came to stay for a week he made a pillow case! He loved my sewing machine. Next month when he comes again I am thinking since he is expecting a new baby in the household that he may want to start a baby quilt! When his uncle (my youngest son) was 8yrs old he won first place at the county fair for a small quilt he made!Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12551626315399910528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2373907850458092621.post-59977121912874365582011-07-09T17:51:10.082-04:002011-07-09T17:51:10.082-04:00I think it is wonderful that the kids are sewing! ...I think it is wonderful that the kids are sewing! My Mom taught my sisters and I how to sew and it was a priceless gift!

It is a great experience. I think it is something my girls got to do, and I'm happy that they got to learn. We create quilts for them. Isn't it nice to get a chance to see what it is that they really WANT. What better place to ask what design ideas are "IN" and "COOL" than the kids themselves. What I think is cool is definately NOT what my 13yo thinks is cool, LOL.Mommarockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09551129981851834217noreply@blogger.com
