Thank you!! When my grandsons were young I let them sew on my machine and they loved it! It is a 'machine' after all, and running it was the focus, not 'sewing'. I noticed the same thing years ago when a friend and I went to grade schools to demonstrate spinning. My wheel was a Columbine and was all metal. My BFF's wheel was a beautiful hand-made wheel with turned spokes, all made of maple. The boys always wanted to use my Columbine and the girls wanted to use the wooden wheel. Kids are great!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-41425986827813691222011-08-27T09:31:52.826-04:002011-08-27T09:31:52.826-04:00What a sweet story.

Our church did a retreat and we set up a room to make quilts, the room was open for two days. I was amazed at how many boys came and participated, they stayed and enjoyed doing the sewing. The last day we had the quilts hanging all over the hotel and they were so proud of their work. We ended up with 32 quilts.http://thankfullga447https://www.blogger.com/profile/09752118265182467689noreply@blogger.com
