Since no one in my family did any kind of crafting I had to learn the hard way. You remember, when they had home economics in school. Well I wanted my girls to learn early and my graduation gift to both of them was their first sewing machine. Both are good sewers, but my youngest really spread out making beautiful greeting cards, christening gowns, great at machine embroidery, and makes a lot of her own clothes. About a year ago she did her first quilt and it was absolutely beautiful. Need I say more about how proud of my girls I am?
