I think you are great. You are teaching your granddaughter something she will treasure all her life. Hopefully when she sews she will remember her wonderful Grandmother. I hope someday I will be able to teach my granddaughter to sew. I know my daughters were never interested.

You may have been exhausted but you will reap the rewards of that "together" time. I can't wait until my DGD is old enough so I can show her quilting. She is only just two and won't sit still for love nor money right now. haha. Your GD did a great job and look at the happy, proud, smiley face of hers!!

I think she did a great job. She is a natural and listened and followed my directions to the letter. Wow! That was nice. She was able to use my Pfaff 2040. I set it on my typing table and we put the foot peddle on a cushion. Putting the foot peddle on a cushion was a great idea because she could not press down hard enough to make the machine go too fast. We had a lovely day. I also taught her how to braid and how to crochet. I was exhausted!
