Elizabeth is sewing....and she is doing such a good job of it, too! She is only 6 years old, and she is a whiz at the machine, her and Bessie have become best of friends! Just look at those lines, and the form, and the curved seam allowances give it soooooo much character...don't you think?? :-)
I have not put one stitch in these blocks! (ok, I did the cutting of the strips, but she selected the scraps, and the yellows, she stitched, and she designed)
(When I started taking pictures, she HAD to stop...run into the bedroom....and get her Hanna Montana slippers to show off,,,,too cute!!)
And the absolute BEST part of all this is...50 years from now, she will be (hopefully) sitting at her machine, telling her grand babies about making her first quilt with HER granny...brings tears to my eyes!
Thanks to you all for hanging in there with me! and for giving me HOURS of entertainment with your blogs...
Hope all of you remember how to strip! tee hee

I'm doing a big "hurray" for your return, and echoing Lorraines words. Been thinking about you and yours alot, and hope you'd return.
The sewing and sewer look wonderful, and yes, *VBS*, I see butterflies, etc..so glad ot see them getting loved and used. She's doing great. Love the slippers!! Big hugs, Finn
So nice to hear from you again. A lot of us "grandmas" have been slow in posting lately. I think it is a great time of life to not worry about deadlines and "must do" things. Life is too short.
Your DGG is so sweet and what a nice experience that I'm sure she will always remember.
Welcome back Lynn!!! That is so great that Elizabeth is sewing - she is doing a fantastic job! Have a great week

It's wonderful that she is sewing at her age. She'll have a gift for life. Our C started sewing early too and now sews up a storm. Thanks for the lovely comment on my blog.
