My grandmother always "had a quilt on", my mother did a few quilts. My grandmother helped me do my first quilt when I was a young teen. I am the only one of my family that quilts now, and every time I am working, I am thinking of Mom and grandma. Grandma "wouldn't give houseroom to a tied quilt" she thought that was the epitome of laziness, and slothfulness was in her mind the WORST of the 7 sins. I still have a sunbonnet quilt made from the dresses of each of my sisters, and a ninepatch, also made from sewing scraps from dresses my mom made, that both of them worked on.
