Sofia topped the pride-o-meter last week, when she completed her first quilt. A pokemon quilt - SURPRISE! I think she made it for her babies.
I admit that I had to drag her throught the boring "sewing up the binding" part.
Sofia: I'm bored. Take us to the pool.
Mom:(with an excessively happy, sarcastic smile) I know what you can do that will be even funner - sew on your binding!
Sofia:(looking sullen, but recognizing the humor) fine.
I thought her "lightening bolt" quilting was very creative and thematic. And now, at minimum, she knows every step of putting a quilt together. ...in case she ever feels like doing a full-sized, not for pokemon quilt. Maybe something for the wonderful mother who raised her?
Honestly, I think that's pretty incredible! I know what you mean about maternal pride--I try to tone mine down in public too. But I'd be bragging about that quilt too. It's darling & the lighting bolt is genius.
ReplyDeleteps--I got my foot! I'll give you a call.
Wow!!
ReplyDeleteI am impressed too! And I think it is okay to be proud of your children. They are great kids!
ReplyDeleteI agree it is alright to be proud of your wonderful kids. Tell Sofia the quilt looks great!
