I, too, grew up in a family that sewed and did all types of needlework. Crochet, tatting (I wish I could), huck embroidery, cut work, quilting and making clothes. My Grannie was never without something in her hands. I was very fortunate to have both Grandmothers and 2 Great-Grandmothers until I was grown. My Mother sewed and knitted. She made Christmas stockings for all the family down to Great Nieces and Nephews. Over 100 made and she is missed.
