"My 14-year-old son has been keeping to himself more than usual lately. After what happened at school last month, I cannot blame him. Some kids found out he was learning to quilt and decided that gave them permission to make his life miserable. In 2025, I thought we were past this nonsense, but apparently some people still think fabric and thread are only for girls. He came home one day with a black eye, and when I asked what happened, he just shrugged and said he got into it with some boys who kept calling him names. I wanted to march down to that school and give those kids a piece of my mind, but my son begged me not to make it worse. Instead, he disappeared into his room for weeks. I could hear the sewing machine running at all hours, and I knew he was pouring his frustration into something creative. When he finally emerged, he was holding this incredible quilt. The precision of those diamonds, the way the greens flow from light to deep forest - it took my breath away. I had been working on my own quilting projects for my store on the Tedooo app, and he had been watching me piece together fabrics and choose color combinations. Somehow, he took all of that and made it his own. The pattern is more complex than anything I have attempted, and the quilting itself is flawless. When I told him how proud I was, he got quiet for a moment. Then he asked if he could start his own section in my Tedooo app shop. He wants to show those kids at school that what they think does not matter. He wants to prove that creating something beautiful with your hands is never something to be ashamed of. Looking at this quilt, I know he already has." - Heartfelt Things submitted this.
