When my
grand DIL sent me this picture of my great granddaughter, I was thrilled and
had to show it to you. Who doesn’t love
to see a future quilter? My great
granddaughter is only eight years old and has been learning to sew on the
sewing machine. She made a doll quilt
earlier this year.
This is what
her mother wrote:
“This
project was part of the kit she bought at American Village (a colonial re-enactment
place in Alabama). I helped her follow directions
and pin the pieces together before she sewed them. Also, I sewed the buttons on and helped her
with the hidden stitch to sew it closed.
Otherwise she did it all on her own.
Her Corners
didn’t come together in the center of the pillow. That’s why I suggested putting a button in
the middle to hide that little imperfection.”
I told my
Grand DIL that we quilters often use buttons or applique to hide or
mistakes. Thanks for
letting this NaNa share her joy.
NOTICE! On the second Thursday in September, Julie plans to have a Doll Tea. If you have made a doll with Julie, bring it that day for display during tea time so everyone can enjoy these special dolls. This event is open to all who want to view the dolls. Also, if anyone wants to request that a class be held to make a certain Gail Wilson doll in the future, you should let Julie know at the Tea. She can do a class for any Gail Wilson doll upon request.

You are pardoned! That is a sweet quilty story. I love when children get to learn to sew young and on the sewing machine. I used to teach children to sew starting at age 7. And starting right on a real sewing machine. They loved it and I found it quite rewarding. Good job to your great granddaughter!
I second all of Annie´s emotions, and sending an extra virtual hug across the pond for your little quilter! xoxo Bobbi
