Crafting with grandchildren

 

Julia wanted to try cross stitching.
I set her up with an easy
blue and yellow flower. 

She also picked a small fox design to stitch.

 

Sonja wanted a dragon on '
her sweatshirt that said
"Books are ROARsome" 

    

We made quilted hearts for the
IFAQH.com project so
that they could make them
on their own at home.

Julia wanted a pincushion
like mine, so we made one. 

Julia bought a small pair of
scissors at Quilting Mayhen
but they didn't come
with a holder, so we made one.
We used a machine embroidery
design originally intended for a
hair clip.

The grandchildren love to make pillows.
Sonja decorated both sides of hers.

Here's Julia working on a pillow for Papa.

Julia made this pillow for Valentin.
