My 3 yr. old granddaughter has loved helping me pull the needle through my Stars and Sprigs applique stitches (plus stitching on the machine with me). This is what her mom found her doing all on her own when she walked into their playroom today. Yes, she has her own plastic canvas and blunt plastic needle plus yarn. I think we have a soul mate and a future quilter!

What a delight!!! Especially when they gravitate toward it at home by themselves~You are a wise Nana to send her packing with good supplies!!

Sally my granddaughter who is 3 as well loves all my quilting things. Every time I sit down to stitch she is in my sewing box pulling out all the silk threads and rearranging the pins in my pin cushion. Her mom (my daughter) has no interest....maybe she will!
ReplyDeleteHow Wonderful..I have a New Granddaughter & I can't wait to see her do this...her Mum is not Interested either...But I Will be Trying.

Oh what fun Sally! I hope she's a future quilter. :)
ReplyDeleteCute cute cute--how fun!
ReplyDeleteHow sweet, I wonder if quilting skips a generation because Grandmothers encourage it and have the patience and time to teach the little ones.
ReplyDeleteLoving stitches. What a wonderful legacy to pass on, Sally. Enjoy her! ; ) We will look forward to seeing more from her...!?
