Too bad they are not interested in quilts....The granddaughters did get my doll quilts and they have strict instructions that those are to be passed to all the girls in the family.
One of my daughters is fantastic with crocheting.She can do it without even looking at her hands. The other daughter laughs and says she passed the creative gene on to her children. But she is an amazing cook. She comes down to help me in my shop and makes sure my coffee pot stays full and cooks my dinner.
