This Is What I Am Talking About....

Nothing makes me prouder than when one of my grandchildren are interested in things that I love.

"Sweet Teen" has her own life and friends and is growing up fast but when she comes to my house she is still my little girl. She was my first grandbaby. What can I say?

She came in the other day and said she wanted to make a quilt. I was so thrilled.

I told her that a baby quilt or lap quilt might be the way to start so it will not take as long.

So she got into my fabric and picked out what she wanted to use. It thrilled me seeing her mind working as she was thinking about which ones would look good.

Instead of giving her the rotary cutter we made a template out of cardboard and she cut all the pieces out with scissors. She did so good. While she was cutting I was playing checkers with "Brother" and putting puzzles together with "Angel". I am so proud of myself. I am really slowing down and enjoying the little things this year.

I told "Sweet Teen" what to do and how to do it but she did it all by herself.
I could not help but think of Granny and how proud she would be of her.
I remember when Granny told me that I was the only one interested in learning and now look!

Today was a snow day so school got out early.
Guess what "Sweet Teen" did?
She got her quilt top completely sewn together.
She told me that her favorite part was the designing.
She said she loved putting the colors together.
She has already picked her backing out and she is ready to put it all together.
I have never been so proud!

Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
