I think it would be a great idea to sew up those little blocks and make a quilt for your daughter. That might be an idea and story for your next book!!!

My mother was a terrific seamstress. She even made some of my fathers suits. Unfortunately, she was not a very patient teacher. I just wish I would have paid more attention. Now I tell everyone that I sew straight really well. LOL I did try to teach my granddaughter some cross stitch when she was little, but she was way to ansy and still is at 14. My son now has my old Kenmore sewing machine and he actually uses it for patching.

Oh dear. <br />Well, my daughter is 24 and now that she has a baby of her own,is interested in sewing! I didn't think she ever would be. I always made my living making slipcovers, upholstery, draperies,etc. So, it's not something that was 'special" to her, I suppose. Well, I purchased her a sewing machine about a year ago. She's getting it out now! and when she comes to visit this Sunday will bring a quilt that she is "stumped" on w/the quilting process, so that I can show her the walking foot better. (how to use it) Sometimes it's easier to be shown, and learn that way. Well, for us, this is best I think. <br />So, please continue to feel better!~and don't give up! Besides, you'll have a grandbaby one day to teach at the very worst!

Quiltmaking does sometimes skip generations. I remember desperately wanting to stitch little squares into little blocks when I was six or seven. Although my mother had me doing embroidery before the age of three, she didn't piece, didn't use a thimble, had no interest in any hand sewing except what was necessary for dressmaking.<br />My daughter has more interest in sewing equipment than in using them or making any product. I hope I can someday help a granddaughter sew!Dora, the Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16043451474748191494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8153120810861642199.post-80141139973432142722010-07-27T13:30:31.358-05:002010-07-27T13:30:31.358-05:00I am very glad to hear that you are well enough to...I am very glad to hear that you are well enough to do some quilt related work.
