I was 3 yrs. old when my Grandmothers taught me to sew. It was all hand done for the first year. Then they started me out on the machine. My first quilt I was somewhere between 3-4 and my Grandma Horn taught how to make the small quilting stiches. Of corse they weren't purfect but she made me prode of them and incouraged my quilting from that time. I which they were still here. I miss both of them so much. I'm 65 Yrs. Old and have sewing and quilting for the last 62 yrs.
