I honestly don't remember. My parents and I either lived with, or across the street from, my grandmother and great-grandmother since the day I was born. I was at one or the other's house almost as much as I was at home, and since both of them sewed and quilted, I wanted to "help" them as soon as I could pick up a needle and thread. :)
Of course, I imagine my "help" was more of a hinderance at first ;) , but they were both very patient with me and, over time, taught me everything they knew. (Well, except for crocheting and knitting. They tried, but I just didn't seem to have the knack, however lately I've been trying to teach myself to crochet. :) )
My great-grandmother passed away when I was 11, and we moved around that same time. Because our new house wasn't within walking distance, I didn't get to spend as much time with my grandmother as I would've liked (24/7 would've been fine with me! LOL!). But we still spent as much time together as we could. She passed away earlier this year at the age of 88, and I cherish each moment I had with both her and my great-grandmother.
Both of them were amazing, smart, creative, sweet women. :)
