I am having a hard time believing a woman would say such a thing, but kudos to your grandson for standing up for himself. I do hope you teach him how to sew, not only quilt. I am in the block swap with rfbrazell and I am so fascinated with him, his embroidery reputation and what I have learned about him. If my husband was anything like Robert I would have a much bigger stash, a couple more sewing machines and a lot more time to sew. So keep up his interest in what Gram is doing and just maybe we will see some amazing work from this young man.
