So true cjomomma--teach them young. I had her sitting on my lap both at the piano and at the sewing machine when she could barely sit by herself. Today, at ten, she claims my little Bernia as her own (albeit it stays at grandma's house!) and she plays the piano. She was so excited when she called this last winter exclaiming that she could now play with two hands and moving on to the black keys. Love those little kiddies and it is up to us adults to keep the art of quilting alive. Thanks for the chat this morning; off I go to get my sewing day started.
