    It's great! I love the way you quilted it so simply, and added the lace and ribbon. It makes everything stand out. Lucky girl!

    I love working on small things, you can finish them much quicker and spend more time on the detail because the area is smaller and they don't use as much fabric. Not that that prevents me from buying more... :wink:

    thanks so much amma and Butterfli. Your right about the time for more details, parts of it were already made up as ufo's, LOL! She has always been the most grateful child, who wouldn't spoil her just a little?

    I have four summer tops ready to make for her and I will buy her some petal pushers to go with them. Can you tell I love her? She will be four in july.

    Yep, I definitely like that sunbonnet sue quilt and pillow companion.
    So proud that you are getting through your UFO/WIP ... projects.
    It is so fun to see what everyone is doing ... and, I can totally identify with your "15 year" timeline.
    Special little girl who knows how to entertain herself with pots and pans.
    When the boy would come visit us, I had one drawer dedicated to his penchant for playing with little things. whenever I emptied a jar, I would save the lid (plastic or metal) and put them in that drawer and any other little things I would pick up while he was gone. (Ate a lot of happy meals, I want you to know <g>) Anyway, he would come in with his folks, walk over to the drawer, pull out every one of the lids and walk off to go play with something else.
    When he turned two, Omakdaddy thought it was time to start getting rid of the lids. I wouldn't do it, but Omakdaddy is more determined and picked up a handful of lids and threw them into the garbage can. (Fortunately for all concerned, I had just emptied the trash, so the can was empty except for those lids). The boy comes strolling out to the kitchen and walked passed the can. He was just tall enough to be able to look in without actually stopping. I was so lucky to have been paying attention to him, because he stopped dead in his tracks and said, "MINE!" and dived in after the lids. After the lids, he got interested in wire nuts ... for YEARS we had to keep wire nuts in a special can for him. He is now fifteen, and I am betting that if I walk into his room, I will find the coffee can full of wire nuts he used to play "soldiers" with.
    Aren't children fun???

    Oh omak ... what a precious story! Thank you for sharing it. I can just see that little guy's face when his "toys" were thrown away. Sarah likes to play with the canning rings like that too. You should write a grandma's book about him. He sounds so sweet.

    I have given her tons of toys and she takes them home. But, when my dad died last year, I took his small cast iron construction toys that he had. She plays with those too. Oh and my doll (almost as big as her) from my youth. She knows where they all are, and one by one, she has them out. She has a huge vocabulary for a three year old. And it is stunning to hear her discribe her adventures. I am very sure I was not that smart at that age. One pf the christmas presents that we gave her last christmas was a horse. Here is a pic of her.
