They have had a hand in softies, quilts, cushions and the latest has been a pillow sham. They love picking out the fabric and helping drive it through the machine. Keep it up, what a wonderful skill they will have gained.red in ozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14926870676010228339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046712351373941186.post-24082225386629157382012-07-10T14:29:04.696-05:002012-07-10T14:29:04.696-05:00adorable in every way!

Eleanor turned 5 today (her gift from James was a quilt he made forher teddies), and she starts school in 10 days, so is about to start her first quilt this week.Emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08418320852653847841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046712351373941186.post-18642915281866804492012-07-07T19:00:25.224-05:002012-07-07T19:00:25.224-05:00Your granddaughters are adorable and their skirts/...Your granddaughters are adorable and their skirts/outfits are so precious! They'll always remember this weekend. A time never to be forgotten.<br /><br />I still recall sitting next to my grandmother hemming my first dress, as if it were yesterday, 40 plus years ago - shhh! I remember where we sat together; I remember her patient instruction; I remember the color and design of my dress--a pink and white plaid drop waist dress with an off-center bow. You see, not only have you made memories for your granddaughters, you are bringing them back for big kids such as myself.
