Now, she was insistent she do it herself. So I cut and pinned and she sewed remarkably straight seams! But then *gulp* she wanted to quilt it herself. So I was in charge of the foot pedal and she reckoned she could do the rest herself. Check this out!!

quilting - the next generation.
If you remember, the Chookie received some horse fabric from my wonderful Doll Quilt Swap partner, Wendy, and she was desperate to make a bag with it. So on Saturday out came the horses and she picked something to match from my stash (thanks, Sooz!!) and I remembered a pattern for the dead simple but very sweet friendship bag at P.S. I Quilt. It turned out so cute - look!

Now, she was insistent she do it herself. So I cut and pinned and she sewed remarkably straight seams! But then *gulp* she wanted to quilt it herself. So I was in charge of the foot pedal and she reckoned she could do the rest herself. Check this out!!

ReplyDeleteNatch. ;0)
ReplyDeleteShe's obviously a quilting genius.
ReplyDeleteBravo!!
ReplyDeleteYep...a genius!! I think it is just the bee's knees that she wanted to sew the bag and she did a smashing job....she definitely should be proud of herself....tell her she can start a business and sell to her friends!:)
ReplyDeleteOh...and I love the coordinating fabric she picked out...see...a natural!!
Totally better than my first attempt. Great job Chook!!
ReplyDeleteFantastic!! Chooky, I'm really impressed. Clever placement of the horses head, great lining fabric and the quilting is super.
ReplyDeleteLynz you must be so proud of her.
Well done to that girl! What a brilliant effort!

ReplyDeleteShe IS her mother's daughter, after all! Great bag, she should be so proud and I'm thrilled to be in it, in some small way. (That is one of my favorite fabrics, by the way, it's got such great colors in it.)
ReplyDeleteLOVE the horsie head! You guys did great.
Sorry- had to edit!
Looks great - of course she could do it herself. :)
ReplyDeleteYou go Chooky!
ReplyDeleteI would've loved that bag when I was Chook's age! Heck even now - it is a fine bag.
(Not keen on my word verification - shatathr - how rude!)
