Two of my grandkids got quilts from their "other" grandmother this Christmas. I have purchased fabric for quilts for them, but haven't started sewing yet. I found myself looking over the quilts the kids got and quickly told myself to quit looking for flaws. At least she MADE her quilts! I've been dragging my feet for weeks. I praised the quilts that the kids DID get. Mine will come later. That green monster, jealousy, can really rear it's ugly head, can't it? We're all human---forgive yourself. I did!

God bless you for not expressing your negative thoughts. I once sewed clothes for a 2 yr old in foster care, and was very critical of my own stitching. The foster mom told me " life is not perfect" and don't be so critical.
when the little girl died they buried her in a dress I had made her for Easter that year. Is there any greater honor!
Keep doing what you love best, sewing and granchildren.

Jealously about my daughter's mother-in-law was actually what sparked my getting into quilting. Her mother-in-law bought everything you could possibly imagine when my daughter got pregnant. There wasn't anything for me to get for my new baby granddaughter - and then.....I decided I could make her a quilt!!!! Well, that was 9 years ago and she carried that little quilt everywhere and it is still on her bed - though she's had quite a few new quilts since then. She (my granddaughter) loves my sewing room and loves to go to the quilt shop with me, and it's our special bond! Thank you Grandma M - you gave me a gift that will last a lifetime.
