Another Quilter in the House?

As I have mentioned before, 

I have two daughters,

neither of whom have had any desire to

follow in my quilting footsteps.. at all.

Until this week.

My oldest daughter has Down Syndrome

and fine motor activities are difficult for her.

A dear friend is getting married in October

and my daughter decided she wanted to make

this friend a table runner for a wedding gift.

Off to the quilt shop we went

and found some gorgeous fall fabric.

I cut the runner out and we layered and basted.

Then DD began to quilt it.

(My sewing machine has a speed button...

perfect for this situation!)

SLOWLY stitching the lines across the runner...

stopping to smooth and straighten.

The runner is finished and DD could not be more excited!

 (I sewed the binding onto this first runner.)

The quilted lines...

She LOVES the squiggly lines on it!

"It's perfect!"

 

Now she is making a list of people for whom 

she will be making runners for Christmas.

This is how the obsession begins, right??

It's exciting.

I did finish the second little heart quilt.

(Story found here.)

I'll put this one away until I need another happy gift.

Happy Quilting everyone!
