What a special GD you have. Keep on passing this love we have for our craft to the younger ones. I'm sure she'll have some more wonderful things to write about when the other 7 quilts are finished. Wow!, that's definitely enough to write a whole book about.

You have been a good teagher to your GD. She knows quilts are important because G.ma has made them.Besides she has pick-up that not everyone else gets one of your quilts and family gets them at special times.You should be so proud because you have made a childhood memory for her that will stick with her for life. My youngest son, is a grown man now, but when I used to sew quilts together by hand, when he was little, he always wanted a needle and thread and pieces of material to sew on too.He's not interested in it now but that was thirty years ago.

Thank you! :) :)

Yes, they know not everyone gets one. My DGS, Allie's brother who is 9, was talking about his father's BD coming up, and said he knew I wasn't making him (his father) a quilt. - we've had a lot of issues with ex-SIL, and the kids know it.

So maybe that's another aspect as to why the quilts made such an impression, because not everyone gets one?

My husbands grandmother( who is dead now) made quilt tops for every one of her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She had 100 quilt tops made and given away when she died at 95 years old.Our youngest son was only a baby but she had one finished for him.That didn't include all the other quilts she had made and sold to other people, over the years. She started quilting as a child and had quilted all her life.I got in on hand quilting the ones she gave to my 2 boys.

That is such a very wonderful story. To know that your grand daughter at such a young age knows the love that went into the quilt and to know what an impact it made in her life. thank you for sharing such a beautiful story.Penny
