Several months ago, my youngest dd heard her fiance's little 4yo dd tell her grandmother that her 'new gramma' was going to make her a blanket .. the new gramma was me. So I made her a quilt in the same pattern as her new big sister and new cousin and put 'welcome to our family' on the label.
I heard last week that she takes it with her everywhere. Made me feel good. I'll be making her more, that's for sure!
