Wow, two great projects and a hobby for a nine year old that will last a lifetime ,and you created all these wonderful memories for both of you. I would say it was a fantastic two week visit!

What great memories you've made for her. And you too of course. What a great thing to pass on

Took us 3 days and then she had time to create a back pack with the left over fabric. She will never forget her trip by herself from Wichita, Kansas to Marion, Ohio. We had a wonderful time.

Good for your grand daughter and mostly you! So good she is interested in her grandma's quilting!
