You are giving her the best gift ever by teaching her to make quilts so she can keep on giving the gift of a quilt to others.

We are going to start cutting next weekend. This is going to be more fulfilling than giving her a quilt woild have ever been. I felt so hurt when she told me not to make her a quilt for Christmas so I didnt.This is the best Christmas gift anyone has ever given me.

Wow what a wonderful bonding story - can't want to see we what make

This sounds like a sermon I remember from decades ago. The "lesson" was, never assume you know the intention behind what someone says to you. Being able to share what you love to do is so much fun.

This reminds me of my daughter and granddaughter learning to sew/quilt. They had friends in 4H and wanted to be a part of the group. I helped my daughter's 4H and then years later, my granddaughter's. Mom being one of the helpers wasn't always so good.... sometimes that mother/daughter thing would be ugly. But, years later, she's told me how co-workers would ask her to help them sew something and she's glad she has the skills she learned. She was the first in the county to win best at sewing and modeling the same year. My granddaughter won a blue ribbon on the quilt she made and still shows it off. I'm hoping I'll still be around to help teach my new great-granddaughter..... I'm smiling as I write this... the memories are so great!!

Keep us posted ......
