But she was starting to get the "quilting bug", I could tell.
First things first though...she didn't have a machine. Well a birthday took care of that last summer. Here she is with her new machine...
We had an intense two or three day "learn to sew/quilt camp" at my house in July and then she had to go home to Nashville. She has really taken off with her sewing and I am so proud of her. Pam has finished a couple of quilt tops that I would show you, but she sent them in an email and I can't get the pictures to show up here and she has also taught her daughter Caylee to sew.
Here is one of Pamela's finished projects....
Isn't it cute?!!!! She was scared to cut the bias binding (we didn't get to bindings in our quilt camp) so she sent it to me and I did it for her. But look at the small pinwheel blocks and square in a square blocks. I know people that have sewn for years that can't do them.
Anyway I just had to brag on Pamela...she is a wonderful and beautiful sister and I'm so proud of her. Pam....I love you!

Ah, how fun to have quilting in common with your sister. Her little cute is adorable! I love the one you made and gave her too!!
What a great teacher you are!
We should all tell our stories on how we learned to quilt.
Yay, for Pam. That is so cool that she has gotten the fever and now you have one more thing in common with your sister.
Thank you Ranette for teaching me how to quilt. I love it sooo much and you too.

Thats great to have a sister that shares your interests. She has picked it up quickly. Drop by for I am having a giveaway.
How wonderful to be able to share your joy of quilting with your sister. I have three sisters and right now know of them seem very interested in quilting even though they appreciate what I do...maybe some day.

Thqat is so exciting! I wish I had a sister to quilt with! The little quilt is adorable and just perfect! How fun:)
I forgot to mention that the quilt you made for your sister is beautiful and has been one of my favorites for a long time. It's still on my list of one's I want to do... and yours is an inspriation.
You are so lucky to have a sister that shares a interest with you. And she's very lucky to have a sister to teach her. Lucky girls!

That is so great that you and your sister can share a hobby. You must be absolute thrilled! Brings a smile to my face, too.
There are a lot of wonderful things about being a quilter - sharing your skill with others, watching someone new take off running, and show-and-tell, to name just a few! Fun post to read today! ~karen
Passing on the quiltbug is a good thing and infecting someone who's close to you even better. Yeey you ánd your sis :)
It's so exciting tutoring a new quilter, their enthusiasm is catching. Your sister's pinwheels are fabulous.
