Whenever we'd come to see her, my grandma always had cookies for us children. Now, when I make these pinwheels for my own family, I think of her. I've taken Chewy Date Pinwheels to church potlucks and reunions, too, and the response has always been the same-Mmmmm-I need another!" My husband and I have five children, ranging in age from 8 years to 8 months. We have a strawberry patch, and we grow popcorn and lots of other crops besides for sale at a local grocery and roadside market. On my own, I enjoy quilts-I pieced 114 of them last year alone!
