My Little Quilter

Here are some pics of my little girl Miss 9 making her first ever quilt do you think I am a very proud Mummy. Rachel chose the fabric and her big sister got it for her then she had to do some odd jobs to do to earn the fabric from Amanda It was a good deal and Rachel is so Happy now that she has started her Quilt.
well what do you all think She just needs to add a border and then she wants to add some hearts to the corners and then it will need quilting.
tonight I have one very happy little girl I think she wants to sleep with it!




I have not been doing much else as we have school holidays here in Queensland so just doing family things
I hope you all have a fab day
