Teaching younger generations is a great way to promote quilting and more importantly self-confidence and accomplishment. People often look at my quilts thinking it is too hard or it takes too long to make. I believe that if you are really interested there is a project for you to try.
In my case, I have been able to share my hobby with a number of people. I have taught kids to use a sewing machine and make pillowcases to take home and enjoy. I have also taught classes on how to make a bag for your iPad to kids.
But closer to home, one of my granddaughters, really enjoys making things for others. HUM, I wonder where that came from.
She has made similar quilts for herself and her mother. She made one for her Grandpa Ed as well. And she has plans to make more. Recently, she worked on her orange and blue "disappearing 9 patch" quilt for her own bedroom. I'm not sure how that will look in her bedroom that is green but she made it with a little help from Grams.
The blue quilts are very similar but have different borders. We shopped the sale fabric at Country Traditions in Fremont, Nebraska but once the fabric was laid out, she realized she did not "love" one of them and it lives on a shelf in the sewing room.
