How fantastic. My sisters are coming over this weekend to learn to quilt, there are four of them. My niece and sil are coming too. I hope I can teach them.
|
that is awesome!
|
What a heart warming story! I know you will treasure your time with her.
Blessings, Kim |
The beginning of some wonderful memories. Savor the time with her. She will never forget your efforts.

You are giving her the best gift ever by teaching her to make quilts so she can keep on giving the gift of a quilt to others.

We are going to start cutting next weekend. This is going to be more fulfilling than giving her a quilt woild have ever been. I felt so hurt when she told me not to make her a quilt for Christmas so I didnt.This is the best Christmas gift anyone has ever given me.

This sounds like a sermon I remember from decades ago. The "lesson" was, never assume you know the intention behind what someone says to you. Being able to share what you love to do is so much fun.

This reminds me of my daughter and granddaughter learning to sew/quilt. They had friends in 4H and wanted to be a part of the group. I helped my daughter's 4H and then years later, my granddaughter's. Mom being one of the helpers wasn't always so good.... sometimes that mother/daughter thing would be ugly. But, years later, she's told me how co-workers would ask her to help them sew something and she's glad she has the skills she learned. She was the first in the county to win best at sewing and modeling the same year. My granddaughter won a blue ribbon on the quilt she made and still shows it off. I'm hoping I'll still be around to help teach my new great-granddaughter..... I'm smiling as I write this... the memories are so great!!
Keep us posted ...... |
Great story!

The same thing happened with me ----- with my THREE YEAR OLD granddaughter! She asked Santa for a sewing machine, and told me she wanted to keep it at my house and teach me. She lost interest after about 9 seams (but still talks to her mom about how she :"made" a blanket). It will get finished and her dolly will be nice and warm. Yes, it's the best gift I've ever received. (later she told her mom that she, herself, would teach her how to sew. lol)

What an honor. You two girls will have so much fun. The memories will be priceless :thumbup: Introduce her to the board. She will learn so much here. I know I do.

This is wonderful for you especially all the time you would have with her to help her learn....great bonding experience that would last a lifetime. |
