Lorelei went to her first quilt guild meeting for kids last month. The members range from ages 6-16. The woman who runs it, Roxie, is amazing with the kids. And generous. What a fabulous thing for our little girls to be able to do. At last month's meeting, the girls learned to make yo-yos and will be doing something with them in March. Lorelei is threatening to use up all of my stash making yo-yos now. Any new member were also given the assignment of making themselves a name tag by the next meeting.

And a very proud mummy too, no doubt. She has done a beautiful job and I am sure she will progress well with all the encouragement she will get
Isn't she so cute! I think it's wonderful ... a new generation of quilters! I wish my granddaughters lived nearby so I could teach them quilting... She's done a fabulous job!

Wow..can she come and give me lessons pretty please?
How adorable. How old is Lorelei?
I have been showing our granddaughter how to sew and she is as serious looking at the machine as Lorelei looks.
Katie, Granddaughter, is 5 but has her 6th birthday in May. She LOVES to sit, sew and learn.
Oh it makes my heart smile to see that another quilter is born! How lucky you guys are to have a quilt guild for the younger girls.
That is so special! I wish my daughter had that opportunity. Little Lorelei will have a hobby/past time/passion for life!!
What an adorable pinwheel she made, and how fun that you can share your passion with your daughter!
That's fantastic, I learned to sew when I was 8 yrs old. Looks like you have another little quilter in the family.
Cindy- she just turned 8 on Friday.
We are very lucky (and thankful!) to have something like this for her to join.
She is a very talented little lady!
So cute! She is looking so big!
