What a blessing to have that time together AND have her interested in quilting! Beautiful job on both of your parts!

We also ate lots (banana cream pie for breakfast). She flew home today and I already miss her. Here are some pictures of her work. I'm so pleased, she loves to quilt.

I see a future blue ribbon owner in the making. She did a great job!

How wonderful! I hope to do that with my granddaughters someday. Two of them are very interested in quilting and they work with me by handing me pieces as I sew. They are four and six now.

Wow, she did a wonderful job. Lots of projects completed in only two weeks! I can understand why you are missing her, she has the most beautiful smile.
