I do not have anything left except a knitted sweater my son has on his small gorilla, Andy. I miss those days. I think I will sew for my grand daughter one day.

Sur...Laurie Says...congrats on a great grandma job. Sure wish I knew how to sew, but maybe at this late stage it is better to stick to what I do know how to do. Loved the story of the veil. Oh my, that is so sweet. I loved the purse you made. Do you think the doll is ready for French travels? Rachel is a lucky little girl and she WILL always remember this and keep those dolly clothes to be handed down. I had an aunt who made me some doll clothes and a mother in law who was a fabulous sewer. I have kept most everything. It is a treasure. <br />Love -- laurieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-294756097506819118.post-15835033732765414302011-01-22T09:17:57.539-07:002011-01-22T09:17:57.539-07:00Oh, this is such a lovely story and these outfits ...Oh, this is such a lovely story and these outfits are beautiful beyond telling, so full of love. What a lucky granddaughter! I'm thinking of getting American Girl Dolls for my granddaughters, though they are a little young. But I notice some of the dolls I would have gotten are no longer made. Perhaps I should hurry.<br /><br />I have, still, on a trunk in my quilting room, a doll my grandmother sewed things for more than half a century ago - well, about 60 years ago! For one dress she took me downtown and let me chose the fabric from a department store there. It took me so long to decide but eventually I chose a yellow and white stripe with pale blue flowers. That is what she is wearing, and my memories of my dear grandmother are still so strong! Your granddaughter is so lucky, and so are you!Thickethouse.wordpresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17187303460677067276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-294756097506819118.post-49197896267681288452011-01-22T08:31:04.486-07:002011-01-22T08:31:04.486-07:00What a sweet friend!!

I sewed some out fits for them, I sewed dr. scrubs when one had to have her adenoids removed. We even made some furniture, it was fun.Jody Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02822023313529125586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-294756097506819118.post-90232189312708012132011-01-21T14:23:56.467-07:002011-01-21T14:23:56.467-07:00That was a wonderful story, Susan!

I'm sure you have the rest of the veil? It may be a part of another wedding for your granddaughter or grandchildren. The tradition of "something old" at the weddings.

"...Rachel called right away to thank Grandma!! "this is the best day of my life" she told her mom. She is going to take great care of the doll and dress and have it on the gift table at her wedding!! Now that is looking ahead!! Hope we will be there to see it!! I asked her who the doll would marry which sort of confused her!!!<br /><br />This dress really shows the care and love Schnitzel has for her grandchildren - I know it was frustrating to finish but as usual, her German tenacity and love showed through!! <br /><br />Love you, TroutUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00843738559482363099noreply@blogger.com
