Lauren's Sewing Skills

This is why my granddaughter hates housework.

Lauren's First Communion Picture, I made her dress.

My granddaughter Lauren is following in her mother and grandmother's footsteps. This was made for me as a Christmas gift when she was 8. She is very talented when it comes to crafts and now she is showing promise as a sewer.

May 17, 2003 Lauren made this Cathedral Window table runner completely by machine. She made two squares while I explained the technique then took over from there. Trimmed it out with ric-rac along the edges.

Lauren helped her mother make this quilted window wall hanging for me for my birthday when she was 9.

March 5, 6, & 7, 1999

Lauren wanted me to teach her to sew. She had never sat at a sewing machine and stitched before and I was a bit apprehensive at first. My fears were swiftly abated when I watched how naturally she adapted to the machine.

She was taught to pin, cut and sew. With a little practice to learn the machine, she made this vest for herself.

When the vest was finished she wanted to start on a quilt. I thought the easiest would be a fusible applique quilt that could be satin stitched. She has fused four and completed sewing the cat and butterfly.

This is the completed animal quilt Lauren started last year. I am amazed how much more skill she has displayed since our last sewing lesson even though she has not used the machine since. I guess a year older makes the difference. I am so proud of her. She started another quilt, a scrap quilt, had completed 2 squares before she left and plans to work on it at home.
