“Take your needle, my child, and work at your pattern–it will come out a rose by and by. Life is like that…one stitch at a time, taken patiently.” – Oliver Wendell Holmes
I didn’t get very far at all on the old log cabin, was having too much fun with grandchildren ,and with their parents as well! The last two weeks went by way tooooo…fast!
Children and summertime warm this Mom mom’s heart!
I must say my recliner feels good tonight though, my but little people have lots of energy!😍
I only got a little over half a block done.

What a great quote to open with! I like the idea of patent progress, that allows other important parts of life to take precedence, like family!

I was impressed once again just how much impact a older person can have on a young child’s mind when one takes time with them, one question(stitch) at a time ,can help make a beautiful young person.

I never heard that quote by Oliver Wendell Holmes ‘one stitch at a time’ but I love it “wink wink” What a priceless picture, I love that it’s in black and white and I love that you have the grands with you to enjoy! The quilt is looking good and I know you’ll get her done 🙂

That quote struck me,as I have had a five year old who was asking questions many times,(which I didn’t mind )so many stitches were taking in learning life lessons. I thank God often for my family ,they are truly a treasure!

Quilts can wait for children. =) That picture is just precious. In black and white, they could be children of the 50s. =)
