November 2006, during our DD2's annual family visit from San Diego, California, DD2 and I paid a visit to the local quilt shop for fabric.
Daughter picked out fabric she liked for a quilt, since I haad not yet made one for her and her husband. She liked both the log cabin and double Irish chain patterns, so it was decided that we would make lap size quilts for her home.
Both daughter and grand daughter got in on the planning, cutting and sewing of the log cabin blocks before their visit ended. The girls took back a list of beginning "I want to learn to quilt' supplies, purchased a sewing machine and have begun quilt making on their own!
The two of them have taken a class at Quilt in a Day as well. Both are currently working on finishing their quilt projects from that class. (see more information by clicking the TJ's quilting adventure link on this blog)
They have recently visited again, and I helped Granddaughter (age 15) with learning to quilt her project on the sewing machine.
Daughter used the embroidery machine to personalize the one she is now making for her husband.
Both attended quilt guild with me and Granddaughter showed her project at 'sew and tell'
It is a joy and pleasure to share this hob-ssession with them.
