I love this, young boys can do anything if they put their mind to it! Not only that, but their color combinations are really fascinating. http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/local/seminole/orl-quilt1906jan19,0,3495494.story?coll=orl-news-headlines-seminole MaryW

That's awesome.....wonder if there's a picture of his quilt anywhere? My boys [13 and 11] are fascinated by my embroidery machine, but don't want to do quilts. Allie "onward through the fog"

What a great story! My big goal this year is to teach my grandson to sew-he's 7 and has been wanting to sew for awhile now, just haven't had time but I'm thinking I might even take some vacation days when he's out of school and we'll sit and do nothing but learn the machine.

I taught my older GS to quilt - his first quilt garnered him a blue ribbon at the county fair & he DID make it all by himself withjust my advice. He also made a quilt for his new baby brother - he was 10. But, now at almost 13, going on 25  - he is not so interested. But, who knows, when he's past this stage of life, he may come back to it. He is somewhat artistic, too.I do plan to teach the younger one, too, but at 2 1/2 he's a bit young yet  .Molly, the BeanQueen |

My, as of yesterday, 8 yr. old son is obsessed with my embroidery machine. I gave him and old Domestic machine for his birthday and he was sew excited. Gonna show him how it works tonight. I think I am gonna sign him up for some quilting classes too. He was blessed with my creativity and my husband's mathmatical mind. He could be a great quilter if he likes it.
