Oh wow, only got each of my daughters to sew a few simple nine-patch blocks, hoping they would catch the fever, but...the still sit in a box in my sewing room. Guess I'll turn them into little doll blankets for their kids. My mom always said that keeping her four daughters supplied with plenty of creative things to do at home, made us more satisfied to be there. She's right, I remember hoping we wouldn't have a youth meeting on Friday night because I was wanting to stay home and work on some needlework or sewing project. While we had lots of friends that I enjoyed doing things with, we were also very happy to stay home and "play with our toys". Promote it and buy her a machine if that is what it takes. Gives you a very special hobby to share!
