A New Sewest to the group.

My granddaughter, Destiny who is 11 going on 21 is quilting now. She joined our Quilt Guild and has had 2 entries in our quilt show. I started letting her play with fabric scraps and buttons as a toddler. Our other Granddaughters do not like to sew. So I am having lots of fun.

Then as she got older she learned to use my machine by sitting on my lap and learned to guiding the fabric sewing straight lines. She made her first quilt by taking scraps from a previous quilt I made and sat put the pieces together.

I wish I had been retired when the older grands were growing up to be able to have the time like now, but that isn’t so. Destiny has always been more grown up than her years as she wasn’t babied her (other grandparents tend to treat her like a toddler still). She has helped me bake, sew, and made sure grandpa took his sugar levels.

Her OCD has helped her sewing quite a bit. She can be as precise as she wants to and has helped her step out of her comfort zone in a safe place.

This quilt is one she made for her first quilt show quilt.

This is her “I want to an Astrophysicist” stage. I hasn’t changed her mind on that yet. Now she is learning to make Pinwheels so as she gets this going I will post those. As she grew up she made doll clothes helped make her dresses and even made a few skirts on her own.

So in a nutshell Destiny is our newest member of One Creative Family.

Our other Grands are all so talented (they didn’t get their talents from me).

Do something fun today.
