{Post 1,030} Busy Day in the Sewing room

I asked my 13-year-old neighbor girl earlier in the summer if she would like to learn to sew.  She was very eager.  Her older sister is expecting her first baby in November.  We decided she would make an I Spy quilt.

We spent some time going over the various controls on the sewing machine, how to thread, etc.  She learned very quickly.  I had her sew on lines of various types on paper.  She did swimmingly, so we decided to jump right into the piecing of her quilt.  

Here is her quilt center laid out:

Here are the first 3 blocks in every row sewn together.  I taught her how to web the top so the blocks did not get mixed up or turned the wrong way.  She caught on so fast!

She was over for 2 hours and wanted to keep.  on.  going.  But I told her we'd continue tomorrow.  I didn't want her to get burned out.  She has done such a quality job.
