First Quilt of the Year

After spending Thanksgiving with one son and his family in Oregon, we spent Christmas with our other son and his family in Massachusetts. 

One of the highlights was teaching our youngest grandchild to sew.

All of the other grandchildren have sewn and quilted their own quilts and now the littlest one is on her way. You can see her serious concentration as she sewed.

 I have learned, from many classes with children, that sewing short strips together is the fastest way for them to learn to use a sewing machine.  #Children'sQuilt

 

For her first project, my Granddaughter chose to sew just one row of strips. Her next project is sewing checkerboard patches. 

Can't wait to see her first finished block.

Best of luck with your sewing projects

for the New Year.
Happy quilting
