What a wonderful bond you two have! I have that with my granddaughter Kaelyn also, but she isnt at all interested in learning to sew anything. When she was three, she loved playing on my sewing machine, and that lasted until she was about 8, then no more. I keep hoping that 8 year old Sydney will like sewing, but her attention span is so short, I dont have much hope. It is funny that with sewing and reading being my favorite pastimes, my daughter and granddaughters aren"t interested in doing either. Your Kaelyn is a beautiful girl and she is doing lovely work. I salute you grandma!!

That is wonderful! She is going to be quite the quilter thanks to you and your guidance. She's a beautiful young lady. She will never forget the special times you're sharing together- Grandma's are the best!

Too many 'kids' my age don't know how to sew, how will our kids ever learn if there isn't someone to teach them?
Beautiful girl, beautiful work, I hope you show her how proud we all are of both of you! :)
