Last month we did a label for her quilt and she sent it off to her cousin in Germany for Christmas. He had previously sent her a birthday gift including a scarf he had made, so she had wanted to make something for him also.
It arrived a little late for Christmas, but it made the trip safe and sound. We saw a photo of her cousin with the quilt, and I thought I would put it next to a similar photo I have of my girl. I love the side-by-side result. :-)

My girl was so happy to make her first quilt and give it as a gift. It made her day to see her far-away cousin holding it up.
Happy Stitching!
Oh how I love it when a new sexist is born. It is such a wonderful thing to teach a young child to sew and they love it. I taught all six of my grandchildren girls and boys to sew and the oldest now is in fashion designing at University.
