Jessica did everything on these quilts from start to finish. She picked out the fabrics with very little guidance, yes she has great color sense. The cutting made me a little nervous as she is a lefty and kept using the rotary cutter "backwards" but we got through it with no missing appendages. She pieced all of her rows and sashings and it was fun to see how she got more confident and she moved along with it.
And yes, she even quilted each and bound them. She quilted the larger quilt on the long arm and the smaller quilt on my home machine. It made me laugh when she said the home machine was "way harder" than the long arm :)
Seriously, look at that concentration :)
And I just went in to the Birthday Girl's room to find her baby wrapped in it's mini blanket and Kami wrapped in hers. Yup, I think it was a perfect Surprise Jessi ;) Great job!!!
And Happy Birthday Kami Girl!! We Love You!!!
Have a Happy Quilting Weekend, and have a piece of Pie for Pi day :)

ReplyDeleteOh this is so sweet... Thanks for sharing Melissa and Happy Birthday Kami!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a wonderful thing that her sister did for her and she did a beautiful job on making them. I think you have a young quilt artist in the making.
