Grace is the smallest kid in the drawing. She drew her family when she went to preschool, and she is the one who asked me to turn the drawing into a quilt. I thought she was an adult, but yesterday I got a photo of her and her mum together with the original work of art and the quilt - Grace is still a kid!!! She's only 14 and she arranged everything to get this birthday gift for her mum! The quilt brought tears to her mum's eyes... :-)
This is what Grace wrote to me when she first saw the finished softie - it made me feel good...
"That looks WONDERFUL!!!! I especially like the hair and the
tummies :) The hair was one of the things I was really looking forward
to seeing, because it's actually, in my opinion, one of the things that
made the drawing so cool because in reality we all have dark hair! I
have absolutely no idea why I gave us blonde hair when I was in
preschool haha. I'm so excited now :) It looks SPLENDID!!!"
