My seven-year-old granddaughter wanted to make a cushion for her bed, so she spent today with me. She’d already picked out the colors she wanted, and I pulled fabrics from my stash and cut them from the layout I’d done in EQ7 (for the Mac!) so we’d be sure to finish in the one day. She requested yellow and white, and we added some purple, her favorite color. She pieced the log cabin variation sitting with me in the chair for supervision, and then she had fun with the walking foot for the quilting. The addition of an overlapped back made the quilt into a cushion cover.<\/p>\n
