Helping Youngsters Make a Quilting Christmas Gift

 My daughter was involved with my sewing and quilting projects from a young age.  She would stand at my sewing machine when she was three years old and pin fabrics together while I sewed. 

“Sew mine, Mommy,” she’d say.  So I’d sew where she pinned and she was happy with something for her imaginary world.

I also worked with my 4-H girls on sewing and quilting projects when Beth and her cousins were young.  We got involved with many projects that resulted in gifts for grandmothers and moms.

So I related when I read Sarah Ann Smith’s blog entry, A little bit of art,  as she helped her son make a fabric postcard gift for a friend.  She has pictures of her card of a horse as well as her son’s. 

Some projects for children:

*Pillows

*Potholders

*Aprons

*Fabric postcards

*Tote bags

*Doll or mini quilts

What projects have you been working on with your children?
