Start 'em young I say....

It all started with a challenge to get a little sewing machine working properly...


It may not look like much but this fiendish little machine was getting in the way of a fledgling needlewoman enjoying her chosen craft.
After all what is the point of have a super posh sewing box and not being able to get on with some sewing....


After much twiddling of nobs and re-threading of needles it still wasn't really playing the game, so there was nothing else for it the big machine had to be brought into play....


Somebody took to it like a duck to water!
Could we make a bigger patchwork piece?
Could we?  What kind of a question is that for me?

Both scrap baskets were repeatedly rummaged, would we find enough pieces for a doll sized quilt?

 

Squares were cut an pinned together....


Mum was commandeered into pressing duties....


Pretty soon squares became rows...


And rows joined together to become a small quilt top...


A spare piece of wadding and backing, a quick zoom around the edge, turn it back the right way round, sew up the gap and TA- DAH!


A new quilter is born...
