I had a crafty Grandma and Mom, so i learned to crochet at 5, knit at 6 or 7, embroider at 8, that kept me busy through childhood!
Never sewed a stitch until i was 23 when a friend taught me the basics, i sewed my 2 girls clothes for years and sew for all 4 grand daughters!!Quilting is a different tale, i received a tied scrap comforter from my Grandma when i went off to college, no one knew she even did anything like that, when she passed the following year, my dad gave me her scraps and I promised myself I'd learn to quilt even though i didnt even sew! in 1975 i found one book and taught myself how, here i am 30+ years later, having made hundreds of quilts and helped finished hundreds more-
these days, with 4 grand daughters, i spend a lot of time sewing clothes & costumes for them, starting to teach my oldest, Meghan, to sew and quilt!!
