Giving her the "tools" to make her mending is probably the smartest thing you ever have done![/quote]

I very much agree, and think you should tell her that learning how to sew will save her money (military dependents MUST learn this) and might even lead to making her some money as a quilter, seamstress, etc. With some professional classes she could become an expert. Remind her how clever you've noticed she is and you just KNOW she'll be successful in her studies!!!!!
Don't forget to give her back the blanket....
