Wow! Reading your post was like Deja Vu!
My DD has never wanted to sew at ALL - wouldn't even look at patterns, etc!! But she does like crafts, so we went to Joann's on Friday to see about Christmas crafty stuff, despite the mob.
Well, we couldn't find the craft stuff we were looking for. She wandered around and came to look for me in fabrics (OF COURSE!) She said "do you think they have any baby fabric with jungle animals on it?" I had just looked at the baby fabrics, since she is having my first grandchild in March, and yes, they did have a cute line called Jungle Babies.
Guess what? She loved it! Had to have it! We found a very easy pattern and she is making her first quilt!!! You could have knocked me over with a feather, I was that shocked and pleased!
I am going to miss her too, since she will be living in Valdosta, GA by Spring, just after the baby is born. Maybe she will really be hooked on quilt making by then so we have another thing to keep in touch about!
