You must be so happy! That is really a sweet, heartwarming story. Hopefully your daughter will now carry on the sewing tradition to the next generation. I'm hoping that eventually one of my three girls will do the same. They have all dabbled at sewing a little, and two of them even tried quilting. But at this season in their lives, it got moved to the back burner. I've told them I hope to one day pass on my quilting room supplies and fabric stash to whichever of them is quilting!

I no longer regret giving it up and I am sure my Mother is in Heaven Smililing

Your last sentence "my mother is in heaven smiling" HAS to be sooooooo true. She'd be thrilled her granddaughte loves the machine as much as she did. Thanks for sharing this uplifting story.

Thank you for sharing your sweet story with us. I would print out the comment and keep it in my sewing area - probably in a drawer - just somewhere that I can get a smile from it when I need it.

It is so much nicer than what I get when I look at our kids' Facebook pages! Lol

Beautiful story or how we learn and how we grow and how we pass our love of sewing off to the next generation(s). Thank you for sharing. I pray my GD's will feel the same way when they are older.
