My grandmother crocheted rugs. She has been gone since 1971 and I still have 4 or 5 of hers. My mother gave me her hook which my grandfather hand carved for her. She is the one who started me on quilting. She generally had one in a frame when we would visit. She started me on a 9 patch. When I finished, she and my aunt set it together and quilted it. My grandmother hand carded the cotton to go in it.
