My daughter is 12 uears old. She doesn't have many friends, and last vear she went through a really tough time with bullying. So she spends most of her time with me and our dogs. Recentlv, she started watching me work on all my orders-mainly crochet dolls and olankets. She's such a talented, special, and introverted girl. Lately, she's been spending more time in her room, quietly taking some of my fabric scraps and telling me she was working on a surprise. Yesterdav, she came into my room beaming, and showed me this gorgeous quilt she'd been piecing together. I had no idea she'd been teaching herself to quilt by watching YouTube videos and asking questions in some quilting groups. The colors she chose-those deep burgundys and soft florals-are absolutely perfect together. Then she told me her goal is to one day open her own shop, just like me. l'm so incrediblyproud of her. What do you think? I know I might be biased, but 1 also know how much skill and effort it takes to create something like this, and I truly couldn't be prouder.
