My 8-yr-old great-niece loves to come over to spend the night at our house. She likes to go thru the quilts I've made to pick out one to sleep under for the night. Of course, here in Ala., it's too hot right now for quilts and it's usually kicked off during the night, but I just love for her to go thru them to decide! Oh, and the other day, I had one on my design wall, and she was re-arranging my blocks into a more 8-yr-old pleasing arrangement, and my DH came in and started showing her another choice. She pulled me to the side and complained about her uncle messing up her work..........
They always say from the mouths of babes and that is so true. I love their honesty, when they tell you how great it is, then it really is great.

Love all these great stories, but this one just made me chuckle. I can just see your niece now, frustrated with her uncle messing up all the work she had done!!

Bless the grandchildren. I made my granddaughter a quilt when she graduated from high school. She took it to college. She's in her Junior year now and said she's going to keep using it. I thought by now she'd tire of it. It's so nice to have someone who appreciates all the love that went into the quilt.

Your quilt is amazing and so are children. To me it is much for gratifying to receive a response like this, than a blue ribbon at a quilt show.
When our DGD was just starting to recognize her letters I wanted to make her a name banner that would help her learn how to spell her name. When my son was putting her to bed one night shortly after hanging the banner he asked her each letter in turn. Once he was finished he asked her if she knew what it spelled. She replied, "It spells: Nana loves you very much." I couldn't have asked for a better compliment!
