Erynn's first quilt...

Our Colorado family came to visit over Thanksgiving.
14-year old Erynn didn't have anything to do.
So I asked her, "Do you know how to use a sewing machine?" ....."no"...
Well, we had about 7 days together -
so she learned how to use one!
She went through my stash of fabrics and
picked out some pretties.
She cut 5" squares - 168 of them - sewed them together
and this is the result:
 
  So much pinning.....
 
 
 We took a few breaks to make cookie dough... 
 
 
 
She quilted single loops on my long arm machine.
 
 
It turned out so, so pretty.....just like her.
 
 
I enjoyed every single minute with her......
love you, Miss Erynn.

      I always hesitate to let anyone use my machine, but she did great. Thank you for the compliments.

    A quilter is born, she will always remember her week with you.

    Wow! You've taught her not only a skill (how to sew and quilt) that she can use throughout her life, but a love of the process. Bet you didn't realize you were a farmer, planting seeds!

      I didn't think of it that way - I was just trying to fill time and then this happened. It was such fun!

    This is an amazing activity you helped her do...and what a cherished quilt, to make great memories. Movies and things like that would be forgotten...but this is an event that will forever remain in her mind. ❤️❤️❤️
