Image my excitement!! Today, Kamryn made her first quilt project. She is 4 years old!! She was not allowed to cut pieces or to iron, but she did all the other work. She chose the fabrics, designed the placement and did the sewing. We set the foot on the table so she could press it with her hand and we set the speed so I could control the safety issues. She is very articulate and has picked up so quickly, I guess I need to teach her correctly, because she WILL remember what she is taught.
She made this small piece for her cousin, Hannah (8) to use when playing with her baby dolls. We only made a top, did not get around to quilting yet, but she was happy with it unquilted. That is why I called it a quilt PROJECT.All through the process, she would say, 'Hannah is going to love this'.
Oh, I am busting with excitement!!!!!!!!
