Your grandchildren are precious. They get a lot more done than I do! They did aa great job. You must be busting your buttons with pride.

I can remember sewing quilt blocks together on my grandmother's treadle sewing machine. I was only 5 or 6 years old.
I know your grandchildren will treasure the memories of sewing on your machine and what they made. The children are darling. Their projects are really good.
