First Quilt for Young Quilter

Here is the first quilt top made by a first time visitor to a Quilt-A-Thon. He is holding the quilt with his mother who drove him to the quilt-a-thon.













Not content with just making the quilt top, this first time quilter wanted to know how to finish the quilt, so he gave a hand at the pinning table.

After some assistance using a walking foot, and help with the binding, this first time quilter actually had a finished quilt just after lunch. Not only that, but he has a friend who was just diagnosted with childhood lukemia, and the quilt was labeled and sent to his friend.


So here were have someone, under 10 years old, never sewn before, and he completes a quilt top, and completed the quilting, all in a Saturday at a Quilt-A-Thon. So whether you are 9 or 90, you are welcome to attend and help out at a Quilt-A-Thon.
