I'm glad we had lots of lead time to prepare for this blog hop because the instructions said:
"You will make one or more projects from fabric. Add words (one or more) that reveal who you are or more about you. You might want to explain in your post just how your project does that, but it might be self-explanatory. The most important thing is that you have fun with it. FUN shines through in what you do."
Well here is what I made and I had fun:
If you have followed my blog at all, you know my favorite job is being a grandmother, so I had to make something about that. I found this quote which I hope says what my grandchildren will always think about coming to our house.
And here are all the other places to stop on the blog hop today:

I agree, I spent many hours at my grandmother's house because it was the best place to be! Lots of good food, fun and unconditional love. I felt the love and still do even though she's up in heaven, now she visits me at my house!!
Were sisters in another life, I love my gandma status too and I think we have chated about that. great PP project and idea..
Love your project. Since my grands don't often come to my house, that's probably not their thinking. I may make one similar just because. :) Thanks for sharing.
I love it and hope my grandson's feel the same!

I LOVE it!!! I want to learn how to make words using your technique. I love how the letters look. =)
Love it, Mary, and it is so true!!! Great job.
At least one of my three grandsons would agree with that statement. I say one of the three because he lives fairly close. The other two live FAR away. Thanks for taking time in this busy world to share your creativity with other creators.
Love it! Truer words were never spoken!
My favorite words, too. I just became a grandma for the first time last March. Love your quilt!
