One of my grandmothers taught me to knit and the other taught me to crochet when I was very young, don't remember what age. The one who taught me to crochet also made quilts. My mother didn't sew very much but my older (by 10 years) sister sewed and made her own clothes. I remember making a dress in home ec class and then we all had a fashion show.
I didn't start quilting until my kids were very small, at least 20 years ago. I just love creating things.
