I love the Grandma stories they are all adorable. My mother always sewed and hand embroideried. So that meant me and my sisters had no choice in the matter. So sometime between the age of eleven and thirteen we learn to sew, embroidery, knit, and hand-piece quilting. I started my first nine-patched. I never finished it. I do have the last quilt that my mother made on my bed right now. She finished it in the 60's. I found one of her UFP (top), two years ago when I moved from my house into the apartment. I was clean out my garage and found it stored there, I was so happy that day.
