You're a brave lady to post what perhaps many have thought in their hearts and unfortunately sometimes words that pass our lips... Thank-you for a sweet lesson in humility.
Now don't let this get you down...move on and know you are not alone, I dare say we Grandma's have all had our moments of irrational thinking, that we are 'losing' our Grandkids to another Grandma within our Grandkids lives.
What you are is the sweet Grandma no one can ever replace.

I have never met the other grandma but in time I do think we will become allies!!! It might be fun to work together quilting - I am a really private person and have a tendency to just do things on my own at my own pace. This could be the opportunity I need - I will take it slow though since I have only been around the future SIL a few times - He didnt talk much but he was so great with the kids and was very attentive to my daughter unlike the babies father who used to be verbally abusive when out in public or even at our house!!!
I am very blessed!! Thanks for all of the kind words - I am still not "up to par" but hopefully things will turn around soon. Through your encouragements, I am looking forward to sewing again!! Hopefully my body will cooperate

If you see someone examining a quilted project, maybe they are just looking for new ideas, on how this was done. I am guilty of that, quilts interest me, so I look at them. Like picking up a magazine and thumbing thru it, not to be criticized for doing that, just interested, that's all.

I have a similar competition...the other GM has a much larger budget to spend on the family and she makes our gifts seem like nothing, but she can't sew and my G kids love what I make them. It doesn't bother me so much any more...I know the kids love me and that is worth any "thing".
