My Quilting Teacher



That would be my daughter M!  She attended an after-school sewing and quilting club in middle school, in 6th grade.  These are some of her works from that experience.  I was a proud mama when I had received an email from her teacher complimenting her abilities and wanting to know more about what other projects she might have worked on in the past and wondering where she gets the knack and interest from, whether she has already attended some classes etc.  I guess all those 'raw materials' around the house have a way of infusing interest in the young minds and easy access to things for practice certainly helps.  And then there is my mom to thank for the genes.

I find M's work neat and precise.  One summer, few years ago, the two of us worked on a quilted comforter together.  Will post that picture in another post, because there are more stories to be told along with that :)  No short cuts allowed while working with her.  Perfectionist of sorts.    She has a flair with these things and often I turn to her to fix mistakes in my knitting projects as well.
