Quilting - it must skip a generation!

Photobucket

Grandma bought her old sewing machine on our little trip to the country...as you do.
The reason? So Miss TikiBoo could finish off the small pink quilt she had been making!

Miss TikiBoo cut almost all the pieces herself, and did most of the sewing, while Grandma put it together and quilted it.

She is super proud of herself! The quilting gene must skip a generation, as I'm certainly not a quilter.

Edited to say: Thank you so much to all those who have made lovely comments. I read them to Miss TikiBoo before she went to bed tonight and she was very chuffed. THANK YOU! xxx

  3. OMG! Did Miss TikiBoo make that! That is seriously gorgeous. I would LOVE something like that for my precious baby girl! If she is selling it let us know! (perhaps the next one - the first one is important to keep but I DO love the colours!). I think its WONDERFUL that she is learning this craft - lucky lucky little girl!

  11. Clarification from Grandma:

    Actually - Grandma pinned and trimmed. Tiki Boo did all the rest - including the quilting!
