Celebration time!!!

9 years ago, today....later in the afternoon, of course, Karen, QofS posted to this group that my lovely little girl had arrived......

Well, one of the things she has requested is a "big" quilt since she's in a twin bed and the toddler quilts are a bit too small....lol

AND, she has requested more sewing lessons and wants me to teach her how to start making quilts!!!!

We have already chosen a pattern for her "big" quilt and the first row is done...she helped pin pieces together and actually changed the original layout to something she thought was prettier.....the rest is waiting until she can keep her room clean for more than 1 day.....if she can keep it clean for 8 days straight (not spotless, just not piles of stuff everywhere), we will start working on the quilt again, and if she can keep it tidied up for a month, we'll buy new paint since she wants it pink and purple.....

where has the time gone??? she's 9 and my son is rapidly approaching the teenage years!!! yikes!!!

How wonderful for you both - neither of my daughters like sewing and I am
always being asked to do this or that when necessary.
I started sewing about age 10 with my mother when she was doing piece work
with baby overalls at home. I'd sew after school and when she was getting
dinner - don't regret one minute of it.

Enjoy the time with your children, they grow sooooooooooo fast.

Beautiful sunny day in Crib Point today and I love it.
