Kiddo Quilting

2 grandkids were over last week and we made little quilts. I had some fusible stuff with a grid printed on. They picked out a fabric theme and we cut out 4" squares and fused them on. Then they sewed. Next time we'll put on a backing and make a finished quilt

at 8 you can iron

and sew

When you are only 5

you have to let Grandma Help

Purple frogs and snakes!

Here's the finished products on the wall waiting till next time Mom works late.

we had fun!! (most important part)

10 talents 1000 thoughts

My guild had a self portrait challenge so I made this pixel portrait. I had no idea how to get the tones right, but it was fun and possibly looks like me. I used a photo and my son explained how to pixelize it in photoshop, using only 10 colors. The title is because its 10 colors and 1000 pieces.

A few months later my genius niece came by (age 13) and said oh, you can get the tones right by scanning the fabrics in b&w, and then turn your photo into a b&w , then you can see if the tones are right or not. HA! where are the genuis children when you need them?
