I am still meeting once a month with a few of the young girls in my neighborhood. They are helping me with various tasks and learning skills to become a quilter. This week, we moved on to sewing.
Remember the 4.5" squares I cut out of my scrap bins? They are going to turn them into quilts for Many Hands and Many Hearts.
Here are their first attempts. I think they did amazing. After sewing their first column and seeing how squares didn't align well, they took a bit more care and were so proud of their next attempts. Some even took the time to take out their previous seam.
Not bad for girls that have never ran a sewing machine before!
They only spend a few hours once a month with me. They were eager to pull the squares for their next visit. I love to see them picking through the squares to find just the right print for their vision.
It's fun to think they might be the next generation of quilters.
