"Wisdom" Winner and Quilt Camper

I had a helper to draw the lucky winner this morning. Jacqueline was the name drawn. I have contacted her via email and as soon as she sends me her mailing address the patterns for "By Wisdom A House Is Built"
will be in the mail to her. Thanks to everyone who entered and/or stopped by to leave a comment on this recently completed twenty-years-in-the-making quilt. I guess that means it's instantly vintage!
I have a Quilt Camper this week, a young lady from our church. She is an eager learner and a very quick study.  Her first project was a four-patch pincushion. I asked her to pose with it before she added the button to the center just so that we could document how perfectly her points came together!
After she finished up that little starter project she moved on to a travel-sized pillowcase. 
Success! Her next project is a tumbler quilt-- she got that all cut out and began sewing pairs together before it was time to call it a day. She'll be busy this week. I hope to instill a love of quilting in her, this big project will be large enough to be functional but small enough to actually complete; a sense of accomplishment is its own reward. 
😊
Life is Good!

What a nice thing you are doing to instill a love of creating with fabric in a young person. She will be able to build upon these skills throughout her life!

How cute is your little camper? She is very fortunate to have you as her teacher.

It must be so much fun to work with a new young quilter! It is so smart of you to start with something small and then give her greater and greater challenges! How often are you going to meet with her to do her sewing?

A quilt camper! What a great idea. Not only will she learn the basics of quilting, but she will have wonderful memories of her time spent with you. "The older women teaching the younger women..." It's scriptural.
