Priceless!

What an amazing story! Thanks for sharing.

This is a well written story that is wonderful on many levels. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for sharing the touching story, I enjoyed it.

Aww that's sweet.

Loved the story. Thank you for taking the time to share it with us.

Amazing.

That is so cool. It's amazing what quilts can do. Thanks for sharing.

Cute story. You just never know what will work with kids.I have worked with infant to pre-school age kids for 15 years and they still amaze me.

Didn't we all know that quilts are magic?

Awwww! From the mouths of babes!

wonderful story,blog and person featured, thanks, Cindy

Thanks for sharing!!!!!!!!

Great story! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the story. My 2nd son was like that too. Now at 32 he's still a man of few words & a much deeper thinker than his mother!

My grandson, 17 months old, says "mama", "dadda", "hi" (for hello and good-bye), and various sounds, but nothing that is repeatable. I am making him a quilt with cars, trucks, dogs, and planes; lots of colors. I am hoping that a similar experience will take place. You are blessed! :-D

My daughter (now 29) learned her colors on a Cathedral Windows quilt that i had made when i was in high school. i still have that quilt today and she wants it. She wont get it until i fix all the little "torn" pieces that have popped up over the years.

:)

What a wonderful story.

Awesome story!

What a wonderful story.

Great story. However, it reminds me of the quote from some wise person (unfortunately, I don't know who) New parents spend the first 2 years teaching their children to walk and talk and the next 16 years trying to get them to sit down and shut up. LOL

My mom always made quilts from scraps of our clothing----we loved picking out our own----my kids did too and now I tell my grandchildren the story of the quilt.

That is such a great story. thank you so much for sharing, God bless.

Thats so sweet

that is a wonderful story!! Thanks for sharing it.
My daughter teaches special needs children, and I'm thinking about making her an I SPY quilt for her classroom, now. Thanks for the inspiration.

Cool story! Thanks for sharing!

Some people are just like that aren't they? It's great when they're paired up with folks like me. My Dad used to say I was vaccinated with a phonograph needle. :D

Wasn't it Einstein who didn't talk til he was a much older toddler? Just because they don't speak doesn't mean they don't know the words. Some kids are naturally quiet then there are kids you wish would just shush!

I think the wonderful Erma Bombeck said that and BOY WAS SHE RIGHT!
:-D

What a wonderful idea! I bet they would love that and it would be an invaluable tool for your daughter. You're an angel!
