Alex found something "old" that she couldn't wait to give to her granddaughter Lev to try.

Do you remember sewing cards? Kids have been using them for generations to learn to sew. I remember using them, so I was beyond thrilled when I stumbled on a good old-fashioned set of them. Understanding that sewing often skips generations, I couldn’t wait to get them into Lev’s hands. She’s now 4 years old – Woot! Woot!  I think I just might have hooked another new quilter! If you are seeking summer fun with eager young hands, I highly recommend these – so strongly that I’ve made them available in our TQS shop, just for you and your next-gen quilter!
