I am creating a MONSTER!


Lily's First Quilt

Thursday night Lily comes and asked if she can make a quilt.
I get this question quite a bit.
Lily wanted her machine, but being it was still in the box 
and I haven't had a chance to play with it myself yet 
I decided that  we  she could play on mine.

She picked the fabric, some Christmas Charm Squares
and Declyn armed himself with the camera!
I love the concentration on her face :) 
But here I think she was a little "over" Declyn and the camera :o)


and here we have the thumbs up for her first quilt,
and the best bit, the next day it was a picnic rug for her and her babies.


Not too shabby for a 3 year old.
"Watch out Fabric Stash" Lily is on the prowl!

  5. Lily is so cute, and hasn't she done a good job. And good on you too - it can be hard taking the time to teach kids to sew, but they really enjoy it. Maybe keep your favourite fabrics out of her reach!

  6. I think Lily is a girl who could conquer the world. Only three and a super sewer. She also so adorably cute.

  9. This just so priceless! I can remember my daughter's first sewing experience - she made a little jelly roll strip pieced bag. Now she makes mini quilts and pillows. Well done Lily.

  15. Gorgeous!! Seeing your hand guiding her little one on the machine made me go all snuffly.... too cute! So... Lily made her first quilt in one session and it's already in use... A few of us with a heap of UFO's could take a leaf out of her book I think ;o) Well done Lily and Declan for taking such lovely photos.
